Cork chairman refuses to comment on sliothar controversy

COUNTY Board chairman Jim Forbes has refused to comment on suggestions that Cork could be punished by the GAC for trying to gain an unfair advantage by introducing their own brand of sliothar during last Sunday’s All-Ireland quarter-final against Antrim.

“There has been no communication with our county board about it and therefore I have no comment to make,” said Mr. Forbes.

During the the second half, there was a difference of opinion as goalkeeper Donal Óg Cusack went to get a sliothar from the back of the net. Subsequently an Antrim player pucked a sliothar up into the crowd on the Cusack Stand side of the field.
