New Cork football coach’s hands tied on selectors

THE new Cork senior football coach won’t enjoy the same privileges as his hurling counterpart following a decision by delegates at this week’s County Board meeting.

Last December new hurling coach Donal O’Grady was given the right pick his own selectors, and it was expected that the same process would apply for the football.

However, that will not be the case and instead a seven-man committee, comprising of four officers and three board delegates, will meet shortly to nominate names for the position of coach and selectors.
