Cork GAA aiming to maintain group format, set to stream club matches live

The Cork club championships will still be run in a group format despite the contracted timeframe available this year, Cork GAA hopes.

A Cork GAA subgroup is examining the concept of streaming club games to allow the greatest possible audience.

The Cork county championships look set to begin with the group format - three groups of four - approved by clubs last year.

With inter-county championships set to begin on the weekend of October 17th/18th this year, and clubs not allowed to commence playing until July 31, county boards have 11 weekends at most available to run their championships, depending on how the inter-county season is structured.
