The redeveloped Páirc Uí Chaoimh will host a clash between Cork city club Glen Rovers and Cork IT next Sunday.
The revamped Cork stadium was initially marked to host the Munster football and hurling deciders, but the rebuilding job wasn’t completed in time.
The All-Ireland quarter-finals have been set out to take place in the stadium on the weekend July 22/23.
The pairings for the quarter-finals will be drawn on Monday morning with qualifier round 2 winners Tipperary and Waterford in one bowl and beaten provincial finalists Wexford and Clare in the other bowl.
There had been claims that the quarter-finals may be a double-header in Cork, but due to the large following of all the teams involved and restricted parking spaces around the stadium, it’s more likely that the games will be held on the Saturday and Sunday.
So Clare, Tipp, Waterford and Wexford are en route to Cork. Whoever makes the decision, I beg of you not to make it a double header. #GAA

After Cork’s double in the Munster minor and senior hurling Championships on Sunday, it’s all looking up for Cork GAA.
