Munster final moved for TV

MUNSTER Council chiefs have delayed their provincial football final by a week in an effort to secure live television coverage.

The decider was fixed for June 29th but will be played on July 6th so as to guarantee that the game will be broadcast.

Council Chairman Jimmy O’Gorman revealed: “The primary reason for the change was because of TV coverage, or should I say the lack of it, on June 29. With RTÉ and TV3 involved in the sponsorship of our games, we would have no coverage of the Munster football final if we stuck to the original date.
