<p><strong>The final of the East Kerry Senior Football Championship, which is set to clash with the World Cup final, will be streamed live by the East Kerry Board via Clubber TV.</strong></p>



<p>The season finale between Dr Crokes and Spa will take place on Sunday at 2pm. It will, therefore, overlap with the World Cup final which kicks off at 3pm.</p>



<p>The board’s decision to stream the O’Donoghue Cup final will allow stay-at-home fans with two screens to view both matches simultaneously if they so wish. The stream will cost €10.</p>



<p>However, this option will not help supporters who would prefer to attend the local football match at the Fitzgerald Stadium <em>and </em>take in the World Cup final, nor will it appease the players and management teams, many of whom are keen to watch the soccer.</p>



<p>A source close to the situation has indicated that the East Kerry Board were reluctant to reschedule the match to an earlier time – for example 12.30pm or 1pm &#8211; as some clubs had previously complained about fixtures being staged too early in the day.</p>



<p>Dr Crokes v Spa isn’t the only GAA match that will clash with Argentina v France. The All-Ireland Club Hurling semi-final between Ballyhale Shamrocks and Ballygunner gets underway at Croke Park at 3.30pm.</p>



<p>Spa, led by Kerry stars Dara Moynihan and Dan O’Donoghue, will be out for revenge against Dr Crokes after the two-time All-Ireland champions defeated them in last year’s decider. The Tullig club are hoping to win the O’Donoghue Cup for the first time since 1989.</p>



<p>Crokes, meanwhile, will have to make do without some important players who are out through injury, perhaps most notably All-Star defender Gavin White and former Kerry captain Fionn Fitzgerald.</p>



<p>County man Micheál Burns is expected to be available for selection after making his comeback from injury towards the end of the semi-final victory over Legion.</p>
