TV3 to cover Cork-Kerry clash after replay moved forward

MUNSTER COUNCIL chiefs have agreed to play Saturday’s provincial semi-final replay between Cork and Kerry at an earlier time of 5pm to secure live television coverage.

In the aftermath of Sunday’s draw at Fitzgerald Stadium, the game was fixed for Saturday evening in Pairc Ui Chaoimh with a throw-in time of 7.30pm.

However TV3, who broadcast the game at the weekend, would be unable to show the replay at that time as it would go head-to-head with RTÉ’s coverage of the Leinster SFC quarter-final between Kildare and Wexford (7pm).
