Cork hurlers call on clubs to rally behind them

Following a lengthy press conference in Douglas last night, the 2008 Cork senior hurling panel have urged supporters to back the Rebels through their clubs in a bid to end the current impasse between the players and the Cork County Board.

The rallying call from the hour-and-a-half long press conference, attended by all 30 of the striking players, was a call that clubs and supporters must get behind the squad and generate healthy debate.
