Challenge game could fall victim to Cork stand-off

THE CLOCK is already ticking as the stand-off in Cork GAA circles continues, with the senior hurlers scheduled to play a challenge game in less than a month.

The Cork senior hurlers opposed the reappointment of Gerald McCarthy as manager earlier this week, but former All-Ireland-winning captain McCarthy is adamant that he will continue in the post, though he met a group of players on Tuesday morning who asked him not to go forward as manager.

However, though Cork are not scheduled to play in the Waterford Crystal League or the National Hurling League until early in the new year, a game is scheduled for November 23rd at Fermoy GAA field.
