Cork board supports secondary competition for weaker counties

Cork County Board favours the possible introduction of “a second competition” for weaker counties in the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship after their participation at provincial level has come to an end.

Clubs approved of an executive recommendation put to last night’s meeting in the Nemo Rangers complex to support such a proposal if it comes before the next meeting of Central Council.

Secretary Frank Murphy informed delegates that the executive favoured the retention of the format for the senior hurling championship and this was also accepted without reservation.
