O’Sullivan fumes over ‘scurrilous’ allegations

CORK County Board chairman Jerry O’Sullivan has described as ‘scurrilous’ allegations made in a Sunday newspaper last weekend that the county’s minor hurlers were not provided with a meal after their Munster MHC play-off defeat to Tipperary in Thurles in May.

A letter printed in the Sunday Independent claimed that the minor players were told to bring sandwiches with them in order to have something to eat after the game but O’Sullivan refuted those suggestions and insisted the team was provided with a meal.

“The letter that appeared in The Sunday Independent was utterly scurrilous. To suggest that the Cork minors were asked to bring sandwiches with them and that they weren’t provided with a meal is downright irritating.
