Antrim want Cork’s Munster championship place

ANTRIM GAA chiefs would welcome an offer for their senior hurlers to compete in the Munster SHC if the striking Cork hurlers fail to compete in the championship.

The doomsday scenario of no Rebel participation in all competitions edged a closer following the collapse of talks with Labour Relations Committee Chairman Kieran Mulvey and new GAA director general Paraic Duffy.

The Cork hurlers, last year’s defeated finalists, are drawn against Tipperary in a Munster SHC semi-final at Pairc Ui Chaoimh on June 8.
