Tracey Kennedy of Killeagh GAA made history yesterday in Páirc Uí Chaoimh at the Cork County Board convention, becoming the first female chairperson of the board, writes Michael Moynihan.

The secretary of the Imokilly divisional board has called on clubs to give greater support to its hurling and football teams if they are to continue competing in the senior championships.

Bob Ryan is set to become the next chairman of the Cork County Board as he is the only candidate nominated for the position which becomes vacant at Convention in December.

A CLAIM that some clubs had “burned” their GAA membership cards because details on them were given in English was made at the Cork convention over the weekend.

EX-MUNSTER Council chairman Christy Cooney will be a candidate for the GAA Presidency in 2005, in which he will go head-to-head with current Leinster chairman and former Kilkenny hurling star Nicky Brennan.
