Munster PPS face major call as Clonakilty confirm they will attend scheduled tie

Munster Post Primary Schools could be faced with a significant decision after Clonakilty Community College confirmed they intend to attend Wednesday's scheduled TUS Corn Uí Mhuirí clash with St Brendan's College, Killarney.

Clonakilty manager Micheál Haulie O'Sullivan has told The Echo on Tuesday afternoon that his side will travel to Bishopstown and will be ready to fulfil the fixture, despite St Brendan's being unavailable.

The Kerry school informed Munster PPS in recent months that they would be unable to play the game due to a school tour to Rome taking place this week.

Efforts have since been made to find an alternative date for the Group 2 encounter, but it is understood that an agreement could not be reached between all parties on a suitable rearrangement.

That has left the fixture in an unusual position heading into Wednesday, with Clonakilty set to arrive at the designated venue despite knowing their opponents will not be present.

The game had been regarded as one of the standout ties of the second round after both schools opened their campaigns with victories. 

Clonakilty overcame St Flannan's College in their opener, while St Brendan's defeated Presentation Secondary School Milltown.

With Clonakilty intending to fulfil their obligation by attending the scheduled fixture, the matter now appears likely to fall into the hands of Munster PPS, who may have to determine the next step should the game fail to take place as originally scheduled.
