There was no confirmation at this evening’s Cork County Board meeting that the executive will appeal the 12-week ban handed down to Cork football manager Ronan McCarthy for breaching training guidelines, with delegates told “due consideration” is being given to the suspension imposed by Croke Park.

As well as McCarthy’s proposed three-month ban, Cork is also facing the loss of home advantage for one of the county’s Division 2 Allianz League games.
