Record Páirc crowd for Cork v Limerick set to top 42,000

Predicted high temperatures on Leeside and no live free-to-air coverage of the game have ensured brisk ticket sales.

A crowd in excess of 42,000 is expected to attend Saturday evening's Munster SHC meeting of Cork and Limerick at SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh, confirms Cork GAA PRO Francis Kenneally. 

That figure would mark a record for a GAA fixture at the venue since the redeveloped Páirc was reopened in 2017.
