Replay tickets discounted MS3

Munster GAA PRO Ger Ryan says tickets will be discounted for the Munster SHC quarter-final replay between Cork and Waterford.

“There will be €5 off tickets for the replay, provided those are bought in advance, like the pre-purchase arrangement for national league games,” he said.

“If you purchase your tickets for the replay in advance that discount will kick in. We will have details on the website in due course.

“That game is now June 8, with the football games that were down for decision that day being moved to the previous evening, June 7.”

Meanwhile fixtures in the opening round of the Cork County SHC are likely to be heavily affected following yesterday’s draw in Thurles.

All eight ties had been due to take place next weekend, but only the clash of Bride Rovers and Carrigtwohill, which does not feature any current Cork panellists, will definitely remain unaffected.

The local derby clash of Ballymartle and Courcey Rovers could also avoid postponement as Cork sub goalkeeper Darren McCarthy is the only member of Jimmy Barry-Murphy’s panel involved.

“At the moment, what we can say is that all games not involving Cork players will not be changed,” said Cork PRO Tracey Kennedy last night.

“The Central Competitions Committee will meet tomorrow [Monday] to discuss what alterations will be required. If matches are postponed, then there is the possibility that some games which had been part of double-headers might have times changed as well.

“There is a county board meeting on Tuesday night as well so any changes can be discussed there.”
