Players to meet board as Rebel row goes on

THE executive of the Cork County Board hope to meet representatives of the striking senior football and hurling teams on Wednesday in a bid to resolve the dispute over the appointment of team managements.

Other than county board secretary Frank Murphy confirming this in a radio interview on radio station County Sound on Saturday, the row wasn’t mentioned at the annual convention later in the evening — either by a club delegate or chairman Michael Dolan in his formal address.

However, one delegate did refer to the dispute indirectly, by way of taking “a club colleague” (believed to be Anthony Lynch) to task over something he was quoted as saying last week.
