Cork chiefs extend olive branch

CORK GAA chiefs last night extended an olive branch to the county’s striking hurlers as hopes increased for an early resolution to the dispute.

The Board executive told a two- hour meeting that communications were continuing between both parties, with some of the players' demands already advanced by the Board.

However, the Board defended the decision not to travel by air to Derry for a National League game, pointing out the cost would have been around €13,000.
