Morgan hits out at lack of Cork centre of excellence

Cork football legend Billy Morgan reckons some of the €80m ploughed into rebuilding Páirc Uí Chaoimh should have been used to develop a training centre for county teams instead.

Morgan, who guided Cork to All-Ireland glory in 1989 and 1990, said the fact that the county still hasn’t got a centre of excellence is “crazy”.

He noted the state-of-the-art facilities enjoyed by rivals Kerry at Currans and pointed out that many counties have similar facilities while Cork, who operate at a high level in both codes, still haven’t a training base.
