'Worrying' rise of Cork youngsters putting county over club

Young inter-county players making themselves unavailable for club games is a “very, very worrying” development, according to Cork county board chairperson Tracey Kennedy.

Kennedy made the comments at Tuesday’s county board meeting after Ballygarvan delegate Dan O’Mahony recalled a recent minor league game in the county where one team fielded only 13 players, while their two county minors, who did not tog, watched on from the sideline.
