CENTRAL COUNCIL HAS confirmed that the revamped Pairc Ui Chaoimh will host the All-Ireland hurling quarter-finals on 23 July.
There has been much criticism owing to the recent announcement that the stadium wouldn’t be ready in time for either the Munster Senior Football final on 2nd July or the provincial hurling decider which is pencilled in for the following weekend.
The quarter-finals had initially been scheduled for Semple Stadium but will now take place in the redesigned 45,000-capacity venue on Leeside, with some recent reports estimating the work has cost close to the €85m mark.

As a City supporter I must say we didn’t deserve to win that by that scoreline. City very poor in the first half again due to the Saints high and excellent press. Just very slow moving the ball again especially in midfield. Need to put Foden in there as Rogi passing back the whole time lately. Saints very unlucky.
Not the best City performance but they finished stronger than Southampton and deserved the win Sterling again missing great chances
@Michael Graham: yes not sure what can be.done about Sterling. He does all the hard work and then scuffs the finish. Has been doing that for a few seasons now.
