Brennan: Rebels must call ceasefire

GAA PRESIDENT Nickey Brennan has implored the warring parties in the Cork dispute to ‘agree to an interim’ agreement in an effort to save their seasons.

Cork’s NHL opener against Kilkenny yesterday became the second high-profile fixture to fall victim to the dispute which has rocked the Association nationwide. Last week the footballers did not travel to face Meath in the first round of the NFL. Concerns are mounting that both teams may not contest either the league or championship if a resolution isn’t found.

With the crisis worsening the President has called on the players to agree to a temporary ceasefire in their war of words with the Cork County Board.
