A meeting of the Competitions Control Committee of the Munster Council on Monday night ratified Páirc Uí Rinn as the venue for the Munster senior football semi-final between Cork and Kerry.

The game will throw in at 6pm on May 7th and will be preceded by the Munster championship clash between the Kerry women’s team and Tipperary, which throws in at 3.30pm.

This decision follows the agreement of Kerry county board to Cork’s request to set aside their longstanding home and away arrangement involving the venues of Fitzgerald Stadium and Páirc Uí Chaoimh for 2022 and to play this fixture in Páirc Uí Rinn.

The home and away arrangement will resume with the next game between the two counties in the Munster championship taking place at Fitzgerald Stadium in Killarney and will alternate with Páirc Uí Chaoimh from then on.
