Rebel Óg gets the seal of approval

One significant action taken at last Saturday’s Cork GAA convention was the retention of Rebel Óg on a permanent basis for the organisation of under-age games on Leeside.

Rebel Óg was set up on a trial basis two years ago to address the difficulties of organising fixture in such a large county, and after a great deal of hard work in the intervening period — they organise over 12,000 games a year — they got the go-ahead to continue last weekend.

Marc Sheehan, chairman of Rebel Óg, outlined the background to the organisation’s success.
