Cork v Kerry replay to be screened on RTÉ

SUNDAY’S Munster SFC semi-final replay between Cork and Kerry will be shown live on RTÉ after provincial chiefs acceded to a Croke Park request for a 2pm start.

The game was first fixed for 3.30pm but that ruled out television coverage as TV3’s broadcast of the Leinster SFC quarter-final between Dublin and Wexford (4pm) precluded RTÉ from carrying a championship game at the same time.

But Munster Council PRO Jim Forbes last night revealed the game was being brought forward following contact with GAA headquarters yesterday.
