All Groups must be booked directly with County Board and tickets will then be allocated for collection by Munster GAA.
Cork have not beaten Kerry in a Senior Football Championship match played at a Kerry venue since 1995. This 18 year gap pales in significance to the 74 year period 1891 and 1965 when Cork achieved 1 Munster Senior Football Championship victory on Kerry soil. The 1945 Munster Final success in Killarney was Cork’s only Senior Football Championship victory in 16 attempts of making the trip to the Kingdom during that period.
4 of the last 7 meetings between Cork and Kerry in Fitzgerald Stadium Killarney have ended in draws.
“Points win games”!! - Or so you would think looking at the recent record of Cork and Kerry. Neither County has recorded more than 1 goal in Munster Senior Football Championship meetings since the 2000 Munster Semi-Final which Kerry won by 2-15 to 1-13. During the 15 subsequent Munster Championship matches between the counties, they have combined to score a total of 14 goals between them or 1 goal for every 75 minutes of Championship action.
In the 1890 Munster Senior Football Final, Laune Rangers (kerry) and Midleton (Cork) were the finalists. The game was 57 minutes old, with the sides scoreless, when the ball burst and as there was no replacement ball the game could not continue and was abandoned.
In the 1893 Final, Laune Rangers (Kerry) and Dromtarriffe (Cork) were fixed on two occasions to play this final in Millstreet but the Kerry side did not travel. The game was fixed for a third time in Mallow but there was still no show from the Kerry side and Cork received a walkover.
