Cummins double-booked for Poc Fada

Reigning champion Brendan Cummins has been forced to pull out of this weekend's All-Ireland Poc Fada event at Ravensdale, Co Louth, due to Tipperary's involvement in Sunday's All-Ireland SHC quarter-finals.

The Premier county goalkeeper will miss Saturday's Poc Fada, which he won for the second successive time last year in a record 48 pocs, with Ken Hogan's Tipp side due to face Galway at Croke Park, 24 hours later.
