Cork Board gets go-ahead for St Colman’s anniversary game

A DRAMATIC U-turn has seen the GAA give the green light for the St Colman’s-Cork senior hurling challenge game.

It is understood that the Cork County Board pressed for the game to go ahead, after pointing out to the CCCC that it was not a ‘proper’ inter-county game.

The willingness of the board to pursue the matter will heighten expectations that Rebels boss Gerald McCarthy is in a position to field a team for the game, which is being played to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Cork college.
