Supporters lose out as Cork hurlers’ and footballers’ fixtures clash

The Cork County Board insist nothing could be done to avoid the clash between their hurlers and footballers’ Division 1 fixtures next Sunday afternoon.

Cork GAA chiefs had believed their home and away agreement with Tipperary for knockout league fixtures was still in operation. The counties’ last such fixture was the 2012 Division 1 semi-final in Thurles.

However, Tipperary informed them following Sunday’s fixtures that the arrangement had come to an end following that game.
