Glen Rovers to begin Cork title defence against Carbery

Glen Rovers will open their defence of a first Cork SHC title in 26 years with a 2016 first-round clash against Carbery.

Yesterday’s Cork County Board annual convention ended with the draws for next year’s championships, which will be run on a system different to this year’s.

Whereas recent times have seen first-round winners advancing directly to the fourth round, with losers playing off in the second and third rounds, all teams will now play in the second round.
