Cork board backs GPA recognition protocol

THE Cork County Board last night voted overwhelmingly to back the proposed GPA recognition protocol which will be decided upon at February’s Central Council meeting next Saturday.

But there were serious reservations expressed by delegates at the lack of similar assistance being provided to club players by the association.

Cork Central Council delegate Des Cullinane described the recommended five-year agreement as “the best that we could get” and stated that the concerns over club players were a separate issue.
