Ger O’Keeffe: World Cup final will have no impact on Kerry's Super 8 clash unless England involved

Ger O’Keeffe has no issue with Kerry’s Super 8 clash with Galway being scheduled for the same 4pm start as the World Cup final on Sunday week, but he reckons the crowd size will be impacted if England are involved.

O’Keeffe was involved as a selector with Jack O’Connor when Kerry and Galway’s 2006 Division 1 final in the Gaelic Grounds clashed with the Munster-Leinster Heineken Cup semi-final in Lansdowne Road.
