Cork succeed in getting U-21 clash postponed

FOLLOWING a meeting of the Munster Council GAC in Limerick last night, Cork succeeded in postponing tonight’s Munster U21 football championship semi-final against Waterford.

The council said the fixture must be played on or before August 27 with extra-time and the final is fixed for September 4. Meanwhile, the Kerry team to play Tipperary in the Munster U21 FC semi-final at Kilmallock on Friday night includes four seniors, Séamus Scanlon, Declan O’Sullivan, Declan Quill and Colm Cooper, and Páidí Ó Sé will be hoping they all come through unscathed as their All-Ireland SFC semi-final clash with Tyrone approaches. The selectors have given a vote of confidence to the team which started and beat Limerick in the opening round in Newcastlewest.

Galway and Mayo will endeavour to salvage something from a season that has gone horribly wrong on them at senior level when they meet in tonight’s Connacht U21 FC final at Pearse Stadium, Tuam.
