One of the two club delegates to query the levies imposed on clubs by Cork GAA believes SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh merits further state funding.

Along with Bride Rovers’ John Arnold, Castlelyons’ Kieran McGann asked at last week’s county board meeting exactly how much each club would have to contribute in new expenses as the board looks to service its €31 million-plus stadium debt.
