Cork players agree to binding arbitration

Ninety-five days after the decision of the Cork Senior footballers and hurlers to withdraw their services from inter-county involvement, agreement has finally been reached in the Rebel County, following a meeting of the players and officials last night.

It took just one hour of talks at an undisclosed Cork City Centre hotel, which also involved LRC Chief Kieran Mulvey as mediator; to ensure that an end to the dispute which threatened Cork's National hurling and football league participation has been reached.
