Meeting is ‘last chance saloon’, says Cusack

DONAL Óg Cusack said yesterday that the 2008 Cork hurling panel will disband if they do not get the backing of club chairmen tomorrow night in the city, describing the meeting as “the last chance saloon”.

The players have invited chairmen of junior, intermediate and senior clubs in order to make their case in the ongoing dispute in Cork GAA following Tuesday night’s vote of confidence in hurling manager Gerald McCarthy from the Cork County Board.

“We’ll push on with the meeting,” said Cusack yesterday. “We know guys are being dissuaded from going there in an effort to embarrass us. All we’ve tried to do is get our story out there, anyone can ask us any questions, and that’s what we want to do.
