Castlehaven-Dingle Munster final set for neutral venue

Fermanagh’s hopes of playing Sam Maguire Cup football have been dealt a blow with the news that three players will be unavailable due to work and travel commitments in 2024.

Dingle's Darragh O'Sullivan and Mikey Geaney celebrate after Sunday's win in Thurles. Will the Kerry men be returning to Semple Stadium for the final?

Sunday week’s Munster club senior football final between Castlehaven and Dingle is expected to be played at a neutral venue. A decision on the location for the decider may not be known until Wednesday but it appears there will be no coin toss for home advantage. TUS Gaelic Grounds and FBD Semple Stadium have been suggested as possible venues for the game, which has a 2pm throw-in.

Getting to both stadiums would be lengthy journeys for the harbour clubs. Castlehaven to TUS Gaelic Grounds is almost a six-hour return journey while the round trip to Thurles is approximately five. For Dingle, the total travel time to Limerick’s Ennis Road is about four and a half hours while going back to Semple Stadium is around six.
