Cork’s dual demands pose dilemma

MUNSTER GAA chairman Jimmy O’Gorman admitted that provincial council chiefs may have to tweak their fixtures next year to accommodate Cork’s dual demands.

Ticket sales in the Rebel County ahead of Sunday’s Munster SHC showdown with Tipperary are reported as “slow” but O’Gorman believes there are a number of contributory factors.

Chief among them is the fact that for the second successive weekend, a Cork senior team is in action while the footballers are due in Killarney on Sunday week for the glamour Munster semi-final clash with old rivals Kerry.
