O’Sullivan reveals heartache behind West Cork divorce

It’s a story familiar to GAA people all over the country. A stormy annual general meeting, members walking out, transfer applications handed in afterwards.

Usually it’s smoothed over before the first league game of the year, but not in the West Cork club of Ballinascarthy, however, where toxic fumes from the 2011 AGM continue to pollute the atmosphere.

For its part, Ballinascarthy GAA club have this to say on the fallout over the last couple of years: “The club has from the outset of this issue maintained a dignified silence and unanimously believes that no comment should be made at this point. The club offers its best wishes to those players who wish to move elsewhere from the club.”
