Kerry insist no comeback games for Cork if Páirc Uí Chaoimh isn't ready

Kerry believe they won’t owe Cork another home game should both county’s senior footballers reach next year’s Munster final and Páirc Uí Chaoimh is not ready to stage it.

Kingdom sources say they, as part of the counties’ home-away arrangement, would not be obliged to their neighbours if the 45,000- capacity stadium is not completed in time for the would-be provincial decider.

Cork are giving little consideration to the possibility at present, as to reach that stage of the competition they must beat Waterford and then All-Ireland semi-finalists Tipperary, who knocked them out of the province at the last-four stage in June.
