Traffic chaos sees replay set for Sunday

MUNSTER Council officials took into consideration the traffic congestion problems experienced en route to Killarney last Saturday before deciding that Fitzgerald Stadium would host a Sunday Munster SFC final replay between Kerry and Limerick.

However, the controversy surrounding the hurling qualifier between Cork and Tipperary was not the only reason officials moved the football final back 24 hours. The game had originally been scheduled for Saturday but because Limerick are hosting the All-Ireland hurling qualifier between Clare and Offaly, it could not proceed on that day.

Munster Council PRO Fr Seamus Gardiner outlined the reasons for the switch.
