At tonight’s Cork GAA convention, club delegates will decide whether or not divisional teams should be excluded from the county senior championships. A motion to be tabled by Glen Rovers is seeking to delete bye-law 41, which permits the board to allow divisional side enter the senior championships.

No complaints, said a member of the Midleton backroom as he and his colleagues walked into the Páirc Uí Chaoimh tunnel yesterday, and a Cork senior hurling county final has rarely been summed up as succinctly.

The new Páirc Uí Chaoimh has already been good to one of the players lining out in tomorrow’s Cork-Kilkenny clash in the National Hurling League (throw-in 7pm).
