Cork County Board CEO Kevin O’Donovan is delighted clubs on Leeside fully engaged in the process to reformat the county championships and he believes a message was sent from Tuesday’s board meetings regarding the plight of club players. Clubs were voting on how the county championships should operate from 2020. This received 136 votes, with Option C — which would have seen clubs play some games without intercounty players — getting 52, while Option B, an August start to the championship, had 33. There is clearly a desire to have the one game in April and to have county players available for all club championship games. Across all A, B and C, there was a huge desire for summer games.
