KERRY are the latest county to ratify the process of appointing a full-time GAA secretary. A proposal at this week’s county board meeting means each of the six Munster counties has now gone the road of appointing a full-time salaried official to administrate affairs.

Both Kerry and Tipperary teams have been announced for Sunday's ESB Munster Minor Football final at Pairc Ui Chaoimh, Cork.

THE four Corn Uí Mhuirí (Munster Colleges SFC) quarter-finals take place this afternoon with some cracking games in the offing.

ACTION all the way as battling St. Brendan’s, Killarney pulled out all the stops to deny St. Fachtnas in a free-flowing Corn Uí Mhuiirí (Munster Colleges SFC) game at Cloughduv yesterday.

THE long path to All-Ireland colleges football glory next April starts this afternoon for six Munster schools, with three games in the Credit Union Corn Uí Mhuirí (‘A’ SFC) down for decision.
