The black and red Cork training top that the hurlers and footballers wore during their most recent league outings was a one-off, Cork GAA CEO Kevin O’Donovan told the county board meeting on Tuesday.

O’Donovan explained that as part of a commercial agreement with Sports Direct and O’Neill’s, Cork had permission to wear an alternative shirt for one hurling and football game during the season.
