Cork chief’s delight as Páirc gets Munster finals green light

Cork chairman Bob Ryan expressed his delight that Páirc Uí Chaoimh will bow out by staging the county’s Munster SHC final against Limerick on July 13.

The Munster Council’s competitions control committee last night confirmed both the hurling decider and the Cork-Kerry football final will take place at the Ballintemple venue next month.

The Cork-Limerick clash, a repeat of last year’s final in the Gaelic Grounds, will be the last inter-county game in Páirc Uí Chaoimh before its €70 million reconstruction.
