Croke Park, which is no stranger to historical occasions, welcomed the PSNI onto its pitch on Friday for the McCarthy match against An Garda Síochána in one of the most significant games in recent memory. As the police services from both sides of the border swapped their uniforms for jerseys it was the southerners who reigned supreme with a comprehensive 4-17 to 1-6 victory but this match was about much more than the end result. Sportsfile’s Ray McManus was there to capture the occasion and in addition to the front page of the Irish Examiner Ray’s pictures appeared in the Irish Daily Star, The Irish Sun, The Irish Times and The Irish News. Definitely a case of ’see you all in Coppers’
