Cork footballers refuse to play Kerry clash after game moved to Killarney

The Cork footballers have said they will not fulfil their fixture against Kerry after the game was moved to Fitzgerald Stadium earlier this week.

Cork were originally pencilled in for home advantage against Kerry for their May 7 clash but with with Páirc Uí Chaoimh unavailable due to the staging of an Ed Sheeran concert, it was intended to play the game at nearby Páirc Uí Rinn instead.

However, the suitability of the venue was called into question by the provincial body given its limited capacity. The Cork management team led by Keith Ricken insisted that they should retain home advantage regardless and were backed by their county board.
