Rebels chip in for charity

GOAL’S Niger famine appeal fund has benefited to the tune of several thousand Euro as a result of the involvement of members of the Cork team in a hurling summer camp promoted recently by a local radio station.

In different circumstances, the players could themselves have been the beneficiaries from their presence at the camp, except that it would not be official team policy to seek or receive payment for such activity.

Yesterday, GOAL director John O’Shea, praised the Cork manager John Allen for the gesture.
