*Clare’s Cathal O’Connor.
CUSACK PARK will not host the Munster senior football final.
Instead, the provincial decider between Clare and Kerry will be held at TUS Gaelic Grounds in Limerick.
A meeting of the Munster GAA CCC on Tuesday night agreed to set the Gaelic Grounds as the venue for the fixture, the first provincial final between the counties at this level since 2000.
Fixture details were also confirmed with a 4pm start on Sunday May 7th agreed by administrators.
Clare GAA officials had approached their Kerry GAA counterparts about the possibility of hosting the tie in Cusack Park, a call which had received widespread support including from the former President of the GAA and Kerry man Sean Kelly.
This bid didn’t receive the necessary support from senior officials at Munster GAA.
