Cork await response to Croker fixture protest

CORK GAA officials are seeking thea re-arrangement of their teams’ schedules in the All-Ireland SFC and SHC championship in Croke Park.

The footballers are to play their All-Ireland quarter-final match on Saturday August 5, with the senior and minor hurlers contesting All-Ireland semi-finals the following day, much to the annoyance of officials and supporters.

“We have made representations to headquarters on the matter and we’re awaiting a response to that,’’ Cork county board secretary Frank Murphy said last evening.
