Cork's Páirc Uí Chaoimh has been named as GAA Pitch of the Year on eve of the first ever rugby match to be played at the stadium.

Prior to Thursday night's clash of Munster and South Africa, Cork GAA released the news noting that it was "fitting" that they have been awarded the accolade on such a momentous week.
