RTÉ have announced they will be showing the Munster Senior Football final replay between Kerry and Cork in Killarney on Saturday week.

The game will be broadcast on RTÉ2 on Saturday July 18th, with a late throw-in time of 7pm.

This will be the first major game held in Killarney on a Saturday since the 2004 qualifier between Cork and Tipperary, a fixture which resulted in traffic problems throughout the area.

Because of this, Garda insisted the game start as late as possible, hence it not getting underway until 7pm.
