Cork Board meets officials in bid to solve Sciath na Scol impasse

Sciath na Scol officials will learn tonight if Páirc Uí Rinn is to be made available by the Cork County Board to stage 12 schools football finals in November.

Sciath na Scol chairman Deaglán Ó Deargáin and secretary Mairead Ní Cheallacháin are to meet with Cork GAA chairman Ger Lane in a bid to resolve the impasse between the two bodies, stemming from the board’s refusal to allow 12 Sciath na Scol hurling and camogie finals take place at Páirc Uí Rinn last May.

Musgrave Park, at the request of Sciath na Scol top-brass, housed the affected games and a verdict is expected tonight as to whether the schools football finals could also wind up at the Munster Rugby venue.
