Cork GAA will be the real loser if both sides just keep on digging

This is an internal matter of no real consequence to anyone other than those involved and those who support Cork hurling and football.

The worrying thing for Cork fans is that the damage done by the dispute at this stage may have gone so deep that it will take years to repair

IT HAS to be admitted: there’s one hell of a stubborn streak in many Corkmen, particularly those involved at the highest levels of sport. There’s no taking their shovels from some of them when they decide to dig in.
