John Brudair has joked that he might have to borrow JP McManus's private jet to get between venues tomorrow.

The Limerick football manager is in charge of the Milford camogie and Drom/Broadford hurling teams which are both in provincial action. Milford take on Newmarket of Clare in the Munster final at 1pm in Kilmallock, while Drom/Broadford host Cork's Dungourney in the Munster club JHC at 2.30pm.

With nearly 20 miles separating the venues, Brudair would need to be Superman to make the start of the second match!

"Maybe if JP McManus gives me the lend of his plane I might be able to make the start of the hurling match," he told the Irish Examiner.

"It is not ideal and we were hoping one of the games might be moved to the Sunday, but that wasn't possible for one reason or another. There has been some give and take (the camogie final was originally scheduled for 1.30pm and the hurling clash fixed for 2pm) which will allow me to make a fair chunk of the hurling match.

"Ray Lynch is player/ manager with Dromcollogher and we have been trying to take the pressure off him as much as possible throughout the year to allow him concentrate on his hurling. He, along with Jerry O'Brien who coincidentally enough is from Milford, will take charge of getting the team ready beforehand and you just have to trust that all the work has been put in.

"It's a big game at home for the club and it would be ideal to be there from the start, but you have to take the hand you are dealt. It'll be a mad dash once the camogie is finished."
