Kildare's league clash with Cork set to be moved out of SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh
Kildare will head to Cork to face the current table-toppers on Saturday, March 14 at 5pm in the penultimate round of the Allianz Football Legaue in a game set to move to Páirc Uí Rinn
After their crucial clash with Meath this weekend, Kildare will head to Cork to face the current Division 2 table-toppers on Saturday, March 14 at 5pm and, as first reported by Echo Live, the game is set to be moved out of SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh and into Páirc Uí Rinn.
The decision has comes at the request of the Cork football management for their meeting with The Lilies in the penultimate round of the Allianz Football League. The game could prove crucial for both sides with The Rebels in pole position for promotion after four wins from four ahead of their trip to Derry on Sunday, March 1 while Kildare are looking nervously over their shoulder in sixth place.
The Lilies face Meath on Saturday, February 28 on home soil and no doubt need a result of some sort to prevent a visit to Cork becoming must-win. Kildare are looking to bounce back from defeat to Cavan when they throw-in against The Royals at 7pm in Cedral St Conleth's Park.
Speaking after the Cavan clash, manager Brian Flanagan said, "Ultimately we have to look at our own performance, we weren't good enough, we weren't at it today and we have to make sure that we are in six days time for Meath.”
A win would certainly ease the growing pressure on The Lilies as they are now sucked into a relegation scrap, anything else would make their two remaining games when they travel to take on Cork and their final home game with Louth, immense to say the least.
