Company begins fundraising trip to US in aid of Cork senior footballers and hurlers

Cork GAA chairman Ger Lane has given tacit approval to an independent company, featuring current and former inter-county players, which is set to begin a round of US fund-raising initiatives aimed at better resourcing the Cork senior footballers and hurlers.

The company, CSF Funding Co Ltd, was established last year to provide the Cork senior footballers with an additional finance stream to that provided by the Cork County Board.

It was set up by current and former Cork footballers to help resource the senior footballers in line with top-tier football counties and has already received significant backing from the business community in Ireland and in the United States, Examiner Sport understands.
