Thurles to host Cork clash with Waterford

Thurles will host two Cork-Waterford clashes in the space of five weeks after it was yesterday confirmed Semple Stadium will stage Sunday week’s Division 1 final.

The game will throw in at 3.30pm and will be televised live by TG4.

As was anticipated, the Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) selected the Tipperary venue for the clash. Although the counties don’t have a home-away arrangement, neither would have been in a position to host the game with Páirc Uí Rinn and Walsh Park unsuitable for such an attractive fixture.
