Cork hurling wins leads to club football revamp

Cork’s qualification for Sunday week’s Allianz Division 1 Hurling League final against Kilkenny has meant a re-scheduling of the football championship fixture programme.

An extensive number of games had been pencilled in for Sunday, May 6 but following the victory over Tipperary last weekend, the schedule has been significantly altered.

At last night’s meeting of the Cork county board it was confirmed that no club football games will take place in opposition to the league decider in Thurles with the senior football tie between Carbery Rangers and Clonakilty, and the premier intermediate football clash of St Michael’s and Kiskeam the only two set to be played that Sunday evening, May 6.
