THE row that has engulfed Cork hurling continued apace last night with Fergal McCormack claiming that players were being treated as “second class citizens”.

"There is almost a them and us attitude between players and officials and the perception that we are only players," McCormack said on local radio yesterday, as tensions escalated between the Cork County Board and a number of senior players.
