GPA played 'no part' in Cork hurlers' endorsement

The Gaelic Players Association (GPA) has admitted tonight that they played no part in the player endorsement which saw Cork hurlers' Kieran Murphy and Niall McCarthy come under fire in the aftermath of Sunday's All-Ireland SHC quarter-finals.

The Rebel forwards could face disciplinary action after they sported printed advertisements for drinks company Corona on their boots at Croke Park, in a deal set up by the Hopkins PR company, on behalf of Corona's Irish distributors Barry/Fitzwilliams Maxxium.
