Cork dual stars face playing twice on same day

Cork dual players Hannah Looney and Libby Coppinger are facing the prospect of playing two championship games on the one day, unless the Camogie Association and Munster LGFA reach a compromise.

Cork and Kerry meet in the Munster ladies football final on Saturday, June 23, the same day the Cork camogie team entertain Dublin in round two of the All-Ireland championship.

Cork have home advantage for both games, with venues and throw-in times for either yet to be confirmed. Lines of communication have been opened between ladies football and camogie officials at national and local level to try and avoid a situation where the dual pair are forced to play two games on the one day or, worse still, choose one code over the other.
