Cork hoping to repeat floodlit success against Galway

CORK have plans to stage another league game under lights next month. County secretary Frank Murphy revealed after Saturday night’s tie that they hoped to play the football game against Galway, scheduled for March 2, under the same arrangement.

The GAC is in favour, but Cork will need the co-operation of the Galway management and board officials.

Predictably, Cork were thrilled with the success of the weekend experiment. Frank Murphy pointed out that as a result of the redevelopment of the ground, it was the first time they were permitted to exceed a 10,000 capacity (now set at 16,400).
