Younger players: we’re all together

THE younger members of the 2008 Cork panel last night rejected suggestions they are being pressurised by older squad members into not playing under Gerald McCarthy.

Several young players confirmed that they fully supported the squad’s stance.

Newtownshandrum’s Cathal Naughton revealed: “The younger players here, we’re all old enough and wise enough to make our own decisions. We think it’s an absolute disgrace that people in Cork are saying we’re being bullied or being led by older people on the panel. We wouldn’t be here if that was the case.
