Call for directors of hurling and football to sort Cork GAA crisis

Kevin O’Donovan, coaching officer of the Cork County Board, has called for the county to appoint directors of hurling and football.

At last night’s County Board meeting at the Nemo Rangers complex, O’Donovan delivered a wide-ranging, and well-received speech in the wake of Cork’s disappointing loss to Tipperary in the Munster SHC on Sunday. In it, he said he believed Cork hurling was now in crisis.

“It’s something I have asked myself ever since we were well-beaten by Kilkenny in the 2010 All-Ireland semi-final, is Cork hurling in crisis?” he said.
