Cork fail to get U-21 football semi-final deferred

TOMORROW night’s Munster U21 football championship semi-final between Waterford and Cork at Walsh Park will be played despite the Rebels’ request for a postponement.

Cork sought a postponement on the grounds that two of their players, John Gardiner and Setanta Ó hAilpín, will be involved in the All-Ireland SHC semi-final replay next Saturday.

However, Munster PRO Fr Seamus Gardiner confirmed that Cork have sought and been granted a meeting of the GAC of the Munster Council which will take place tonight at 8.30 p.m. in Adare.
