Sunday's Kildare-Offaly Joe McDonagh Cup tie has been fixed for Hawkfield despite concerns around the venue’s ability to host the game.
With St Conleth’s Park in Newbridge having closed last month as it prepares for an overhaul, Kildare have been left in a bind as to where to play their home fixtures, something that will surface later in the season for their footballers, be it in the All-Ireland or Tailteann Cup group stage.
But while games involving the footballers will have to be shifted outside the county, Kildare nominated their training ground outside Newbridge for Sunday's game and the CCCC has obliged by fixing it there with a 2pm throw-in.
