Kerry Board vents fury at timing of final

KERRY County Board is very unhappy about the fixing of the Allianz League final against Galway for 5.30pm in Limerick next Sunday.

Aware in advance of what was being proposed, they indicated they would favour a deferment for a week to avoid a clash with the televised Heineken Cup rugby semi-final between Munster and Leinster.

However, the fixture was confirmed at a meeting of the Games Administration Committee in Limerick yesterday, where it was decided to play the two semi-finals of the National Hurling League in Thurles on Sunday afternoon.
