Walsh blasts training ban

CORK hurling manager Denis Walsh has slammed the GAA’s decision to ban inter-county training sessions in November and December.

Walsh, speaking at the launch of a new jersey at Páirc Uí Chaoimh last night, described the policy as “nonsense”.

He said: “Cork have been out of competitive action since we went out of the championship several months ago, and counties in a similar position shouldn’t have to wait another two months before getting back into the swing of things. It’s nonsense as far as we are concerned.”
