Kerry concession to break Cork Munster SFC venue impasse

Cork has made a formal request to Kerry that they travel to Páirc Ui Rinn for the provincial semi-final on May 7.

Páirc Uí Rinn: Works are continuing at the Boreenmanna Road venue in Cork ahead of a possible Munster SFC clash against Kerry on May 7.

KERRY GAA are set to accommodate Cork’s request to return their May 7 Munster SFC game to Páirc Uí Rinn.

A meeting Wednesday of the key Kerry stakeholders in the decision concluded that travelling to a venue that is not part of the Cork-Kerry home and away agreement is still preferable to no game at all, and a consequent passage direct to the Munster football final. Kingdom officials are likely to confirm their decision imminently.
