Players unite in support of duo

THERE has been widespread player support for Cork hurlers Niall McCarthy and Kieran Murphy following their controversial Corona endorsement on Sunday.

Intercounty footballers, hurlers and camogie stars last night gave their full backing to their actions and have slammed any suggestions that they be banned for the incident.

Paul Codd, the former Wexford hurler who was involved in the Paddy Power controversy two years ago, gave the Cork duo his backing.
