London GAA's decision to forego gate receipts for the five home national league games was made to encourage all London Gaels to come and support our hurling and football teams,” Mr Corbett is quoted saying by RTE Sport.

"Whilst the income from the national league is required to fund London GAA, we feel that after no inter-county activity since March 2020 we need to do what we can to support our players and management who are putting in every effort for the upcoming league campaign.

"Since March 2020 we realize, we have lost a particularly important focus and that is our county teams, and we look forward to the Gaels of London coming to our home games."
