Cork GAA chairman Jerry O'Sullivan urged the striking Cork senior hurlers to return to action by issuing an open letter to the 2008 squad on Wednesday night.

Cork GAA chairman Jerry O'Sullivan urged the striking Cork senior hurlers to return to action by issuing an open letter to the 2008 squad last night.

O'Sullivan's 400-word statement is a direct response to media reports that the Cork hurlers were willing to engage in a mediation process with the Cork County Board and mediator Olann Kelleher, but only if Gerald McCarthy was not part of the process.
