Gooch has no beef with UCC’s championship involvement

IT’S a debate that habitually generates heat — or maybe just hot air — in the dead of winter but Colm Cooper isn’t raising any objections to the fact that Dr Croke’s will face a college side in next Sunday’s AIB Munster Club Football final.

Many of the same arguments have been made for and against the divisional sides whom the Killarney club have been competing at local level down the years, winning some and losing others. Gooch? He just takes it all for granted, as he explained yesterday.

“I’m sure they have got invites from the county board to play in the championship,” he reasoned in Dublin.
