Cork chiefs to host club talks rather than have board meeting

THE CORK County Board has deferred next Tuesday night’s meeting in favour of a consultative meeting of GAA club officials on the same night in a Cork city hotel.

The board executive has invited chairpersons and secretaries of all Cork clubs and divisional committees, together with county board members, to meet at the Rochestown Park Hotel on Tuesday at 8pm; the county board meeting planned for that night will now take place next Thursday at Pairc Uí Chaoimh.

This means that within one week, clubs will have had three different forums to discuss the Cork GAA crisis — last night’s meeting in Clonakilty, the 08 hurlers’ meeting with club representatives tomorrow night and the Tuesday night board briefing.
