Kennedy fears for Imokilly’s football future

The Imokilly board secretary has admitted the division will have to seriously consider withdrawing from the Cork senior football championship.

The East Cork side were unable to field for Monday night’s game with Duhallow. After a similar occurrence in 2012, board secretary Tracey Kennedy wrote in her annual report that greater commitment was needed if they were to continue competing, but now she feels future participation is in doubt: “I think that that’s certainly the direction that we’re going at this stage,” she said.

“We gave walkovers twice in 2012, and it was looked at. We consulted with clubs then and the view was that we should continue to play in the championship.
