It has been confirmed that the Munster SFC final replay between Cork and Kerry will take place in Killarney on Saturday, July 18th, with a 7pm start.

The rematch is needed after the neighbouring counties played out a thrilling 2-15 to 3-12 draw at Fitzgerald Stadium on Sunday. The Rebels should have home advantage for the replay but Páirc Uí Chaoimh cannot host the game due to renovations.

There are fears that the match will not be broadcast live on television as Sky Sports are scheduled to show two SF Qualifiers, which are currently slated for the same time on Saturday week. A clash with the Munster final would seriously affect their viewership figures. The GAA says details of television coverage - if any - will be released in due course.
