The spectacular clash of the ash, a key event in the GAA calendar, was organised to coincide with Cork Rebel Week in response to the wishes of Irish expats abroad who were asked what they would like to attend during the forthcoming Gathering event.

The sporting spectacular will bring Cork Rebel Week to a close and giving Corkonions another great reason to come home for the week-long festival.

Cork Rebel Week 2013 will take place between the14th & 20th October, 2013. 

It is a celebration of “All things Cork” with a specific focus on bringing International visitors and family home to Cork County and Cork City throughout the week.

There is a great line up of Cork Rebel Week events and attractions will include an International Cork Parade, International Cork Day, sporting events, the Global Cork Economic Forum and the Global Cork Network.

This week-long programme hopes to attract over 5,000 overseas visitors to the Cork region.

Tracey Kennedy, PRO of Cork GAA, is thrilled to be able to work with Cork Rebel Week: “Cork County Board is delighted that our County Senior Hurling Final has been fixed to coincide with Cork Rebel Week. This is the key event in the Cork GAA calendar, and it’s very fitting that it will now play a key role in this celebration of all things Cork. The GAA at all levels is supporting The Gathering 2013, and this is our chance to be part of it.”
