Kerry hurlers will travel to face Cork as part of double-header

MUNSTER Council secretary Simon Moroney has confirmed that Kerry will play Cork in the provincial SHC on May 16 in Pairc Uí Chaoimh as part of a double-header with the SFC game between Limerick and Tipperary.

There had been some speculation that Kerry would withdraw unless Cork agreed to travel but wiser counsel has prevailed and the match goes on in Cork with a 1.45 pm. start. Clare play Waterford in the SHC in Thurles the same day at 3.30 p.m.

As a result of the two games in Pairc Uí Chaoimh, the JFC game between Limerick and Tipperary has been transferred to Pairc Ui Rinn, noon throw-in.
