Cork players reject proposals to end GAA dispute

Cork's inter-county GAA players have rejected new proposals aimed at settling their dispute with the County Board.

The latest round of talks - overseen by top GAA official Pauric Duffy and LRC chief executive Kieran Mulvey - broke down last night without any agreement.

This means Sunday's National Hurling League clash with Kilkenny with almost certainly not go ahead.

Major doubt also remains about Cork's participation in the remainder of both the hurling and football leagues.

The players are on strike as part of a dispute over whether the manager should be allowed to appoint his own selectors.
