Munster Council to rule on long-running Knocknagree vs Rathmore GAA catchment dispute

There are a small number of players registered with Rathmore who Knocknagree claim reside in their catchment area on the Cork side of the county boundary line

Munster Council will this evening rule on a long-running catchment area dispute between a pair of neighbouring clubs, Knocknagree and Rathmore, situated on either side of the Cork-Kerry border.

After failed discussions between the clubs and subsequent involvement by Munster Council over the past five years, the provincial body looks set to make a judgement on a small number of players registered with Rathmore but who Knocknagree claim reside in their catchment area on the Cork side of the county boundary line.
