Claims that decoupling at U18 will damage the small GAA club “simply ring hollow”, Cork county board secretary Kevin O’Donovan has said.

Ahead of a Cork executive motion at Sunday’s convention seeking to restore minor to U18, with full decoupling, O’Donovan has insisted that “if we are to put the needs of our young players first”, then clubs must pass the top table motion.
