Sat 11 Nov 2008Cork hurlers get together in Mallow
CORK'S SENIOR hurlers, currently in dispute with manager Gerald McCarthy and the county board, gather early this morning in Mallow for a light session and puck-around. Although the exercise hasn't been publicised it is clearly intended to keep together the players from last year's panel and provide a rallying point, as the crisis in the county shows no signs of abating, writes Seán Moran
The dispute, centred on the reappointment of McCarthy against the wishes of the players, intensified last week when the manager fielded a young and untested "development" team to represent the county in an exhibition match to commemorate the 150th anniversary of St Colman's College, Fermoy.
