Uncertainty surrounds Cork v Kerry TV coverage

By Kevin Murphy

Gaelic football fans face the possibility of a TV blackout for the replayed Munster Football Final on Saturday week.

The Munster Council are expected to announce an evening throw-in time for the eagerly awaited clash on July 18.

Sky Sports are scheduled to show two football qualifiers on the same evening with RTE hoping to show the game from Killarney.

The state broadcaster would have to tweak the throw-in times to avoid clashing with the qualifiers, which seems unlikely for scheduling reasons.

Traffic congestion is another mitigating factor with many people calling for the game to be moved to the traditional Sunday afternoon slot.

A bumper crowd is expected for the replay and the picturesque Kerry venue has always been a huge attraction for Cork supporters.
