County board: appointment process not flawed

THE Cork County Board last night broke their silence on the latest hurling crisis to grip the county.

Rebel GAA chiefs issued an official statement which backed embattled manager Gerald McCarthy, and insisted that the process to re-appoint him for two-year term as Cork senior hurling boss was not flawed.

The Board strongly refuted claims by Cork hurler Ben O’Connor that there had been “no process” to appoint a new manager.
