‘Remedial action vital for Cork football’

THE time has come for “remedial action” to be taken in the coaching of Gaelic football in Cork if further progress is to be made, says county secretary Frank Murphy in his report to convention.

He calls for a review of the policy governing dual players, believing that it has hindered the development of the senior football team.

Pointing out that it's planned to organise four development squads in the two codes next summer covering the age groups 16 and 17 Mr Murphy exhorts that the coaching and games programmes should be based on the traditional aspects of both hurling and Gaelic football.
