THE Munster Ladies Gaelic Football Association is pleased to confirm that Cork will play a Senior TG4 provincial Championship Fixture at Páirc Ui Chaoimh for the very first time on Saturday, June 1.

Munster LGFA officials, who have been working closely with Munster GAA, have revealed that Cork and Kerry will play at Páirc Ui Chaoimh on June 1, at 5pm, in Round 3 of the round-robin format.
The game will precede the Munster men’s Senior Football Championship Semi-Final between Cork and Tipperary or Limerick, which will commence at 7pm.
This news follows hot on the heels of confirmation that Cork will play at the Leeside venue for the first time during the 2019 Lidl Ladies National Football League Division 1 campaign.

The Ladies Football Round 1 fixture will get underway at 5pm, and will be followed by the Munster men’s Senior Football Championship quarter-final between the two counties at 7pm.
In total, Munster LGFA has pencilled in four ‘double-header’ fixtures in conjunction with Munster GAA on May 11 and June 1.
In addition to the above mentioned, Kerry will play Waterford on Saturday, May 11, in Round 1 of the TG4 Munster Ladies Senior Football Championship at Cusack Park, Ennis (5pm).
