Cork club league games will not clash with inter-county fixtures for rest of summer

On Saturday last, the Division 1 hurling league fixture between Douglas and Sars took place at the same time as two Douglas clubmen - Seán Powter and Kevin Flahive - were lining out for the Cork footballers against Donegal at Páirc Uí Rinn.

Club league games in Cork will not be allowed to clash with Cork inter-county fixtures for the remainder of summer.

At Tuesday’s behind-closed-doors county board meeting, delegates were informed that all remaining County League games scheduled for the same day as either a Cork senior hurling or football championship game must be moved to an alternative date.
