On this day in 1903 @OfficialCorkGAA and @Kerry_Official clashed in both hurling and football at the Killarney Sports Field, the matches were organised to help reduce the debt incurred by enclosing the Sports Field and there was a large crowd present #corkhurlinghistory 
The Rebels were represented by @GaaRedmonds in hurling and by the now defunct Nils Desperandum Club in football. The hurling contest was a very tight affair with the sides deadlocked at the interval on a score line of @OfficialCorkGAA 2-02 to 1-05 for @Kerry_Official
The second half began with three quick points for @Kerry_Official but the visitors rallied to win on a final score line of @OfficialCorkGAA 3-08 to 3-04 for @Kerry_Official. The match referee was Mr. Matt O’Riordan of the @OfficialCorkGAA County Board #corkhurlinghistory
In the football contest the Kingdom kicked the opening two points before G. Kilmartin opened the days scoring for @OfficialCorkGAA with a point. The home side went in at the interval leading on a score line of @Kerry_Official 0-04 to 0-02 for @OfficialCorkGAA #corkhurlinghistory
The second half was a very tight affair and the sides could not be separated at the final whistle, the final score line was @OfficialCorkGAA 0-06 to 0-06 for @Kerry_Official. The match referee was Mr. Sheehan of Killorglin #corkhurlinghistory
