Morgan faces race against time

CORK boss Billy Morgan faces a race against the clock, quite literally, to make tomorrow's McGrath Cup final 3pm throw-in time.

Morgan is set to appear as a guest at a gala evening in Kells, Co Meath this evening at the Headfort Arms Hotel. The fundraising event has been organised by the local Gael Colmcille club with players and mentors from the Cork and Meath teams of the 1980s set to be in attendance.

Morgan was, of course, in charge of Cork back then and will fly up to Dublin Airport this evening before making his way down to Kells. It's the return leg of his journey tomorrow morning that will be causing him most concern, however. Morgan must make the 40-mile trip back to the airport, fly to Cork and make his way to Páirc Uí Rinn in time for their clash with Kerry.
