Gardiner: Cork ‘crying out’ for under-age development

JOHN GARDINER believes Cork GAA has been crying out for the establishment of schools of excellence and under-age development squads.

The Cork hurling captain was speaking yesterday in Páirc Uí Rinn, where the formal launch of Cork’s underage panels took place.

The county’s record at under-age level in recent times has come in for strong attention, with no All-Ireland minor hurling title since 2001 and no football crown since 2000.
