The Cork footballers' opening game of the 2024 season has been moved onto the astroturf pitch at Clarecastle because of an unplayable field at Cooraclare.

The Cork-Clare McGrath Cup Group B fixture had originally been fixed for West Clare on Wednesday evening, but an unplayable pitch in Cooraclare has seen the game switched to the newly opened astro turf facility at Clarecastle (7pm throw-in).
