There is disgust and disappointment in the Cork camogie and ladies football camps at the scheduling of fixtures on the same day this weekend that is preventing dual players Libby Coppinger and Meabh Cahalane from lining out for both teams.

The Cork ladies footballers are in Munster final action against Kerry early on Saturday afternoon (Fitzgerald Stadium, 12.15pm), while at 6pm that evening in Páirc Uí Rinn, Cork entertain Clare in Group 1 of the All-Ireland camogie championship.
