Reduced admission likely for re-fixture

CORK County Board may agree on a reduced admission charge for the Cloyne/Newtownshandrum SHC semi-final re-fixture next Sunday, after incessant rain caused the abandonment of the game following just 11 minutes of play in Páirc Uí Chaoimh yesterday.

With questions being asked on both sides afterwards why it was begun in the first place, there was general agreement that referee Diarmuid Kirwan made the correct decision to call it off.

“Common sense prevailed. It was all about the safety of players and it was the correct decision,” commented Donal Óg Cusack.
