The Cork County Board are hoping Páirc Uí Rinn will be available to host hurling championship games the weekend after next, following the decision to move this weekend’s divisional/college hurling semi-finals.

The Ballintemple venue was deemed unavailable by the county’s competitions control committee for the Imokilly-Avondhu and UCC-Muskerry games as the pitch is underdoing some remedial work.
