Mellett won’t show Crokes any charity

WHEN UCC lined out against St Nicholas in the fourth round of this year’s Cork SFC, just 17 players togged out as they edged a two-point win.

Carrigaline’s Sean Mellett, who had kept goal for the College’s previous match against Carbery, was one of those unavailable on the night. While a J1 might have prevented the bulk of his absent team-mates playing, Mellett’s reason for missing the game is not a common one in GAA circles.

“I was in Zambia on holidays,” he said.
