FRC recommendations fail to find favour with Cork delegates

Cork have given short shrift to all but one of the Football Review Committee’s competition structure proposals.

Excluding the strict adherence of the closed season at inter-county level, all the other recommendations failed to receive support at Tuesday’s county board meeting.

A common thread running through the opposition to many of the issues was the effect upon the balance between inter-county and club games. In particular, the notion of defeated sides in the Ulster and Leinster SFC preliminary rounds being rehoused in Connacht and Munster to provide four sections of eight was short of support.
