Ronan McCarthy, the Cork football manager, will appeal the 12-week ban imposed by the GAA for overseeing a players’ gathering on Youghal beach last month in breach of rules on off-season training. 

Cork GAA is also set to challenge the added sanction of loss of home venue for a National League Division 2 game this season, though CEO Kevin O’Donovan stopped short of confirming as much to delegates at a Board meeting last night.
