Committee in place to find new Cork football boss

Three All-Ireland winners – John Coleman, John O’Driscoll and Nicholas Murphy – will join county chairman Ger Lane and secretary Frank Murphy on the committee to find a replacement for Brian Cuthbert after he opted not to seek re-appointment following the All-Ireland qualifier loss to Kildare last month.
In the wake of Cuthbert’s departure, the county board issued a statement expressing gratitude to the Bishopstown man, parts of which, pertaining to the refereeing of Pádraig Hughes in the drawn Munster SFC final, had drawn criticism from many quarters. Lane sought to clarify the board hadn’t wished to castigate Hughes.
