FRANK MURPHY IS to remain as secretary of the Cork County Board for one more year, with the position to be advertised at the end of June 2018.
At tonight’s board meeting in the new Páirc Uí Chaoimh, members of the media were asked to leave for a segment of the agenda which had been referred to as ‘staffing matters’.

Earlier, Freemount delegate John O’Flynn had questioned why a process for the appointment of a new secretary was not circulated to clubs, as had been intimated at the last meeting four weeks ago. Chairman Ger Lane responded that he would deal with the issue during the part of the meeting which was to be closed to the press.
One member of the board executive who is stepping down, however, is treasurer Pearse Murphy, who announced that he won’t seek re-election to the role which he has held since 1997. Board development officer Richard Murphy is also stepping down from that role as he will seek election as vice-chairman at the county convention.
Elsewhere, Frank Murphy revealed that the next two Cork-Tipperary Munster senior hurling finals will take place in Páirc Uí Chaoimh. With the provincial hurling competition changing to a round-robin format from next year, the counties’ home-and-away arrangement will apply to finals and Tipp ‘owe’ Cork two games as the teams met in Semple Stadium in the past two seasons while Páirc Uí Chaoimh was being redeveloped.
By the same token, the next Cork-Limerick Munster hurling final will take place at the Gaelic Grounds. With uncertainty as to Waterford’s suitability to host round-robin games, Murphy indicated that there is a chance Cork’s game against them will be at a neutral venue, most likely Thurles. In his report, Cork’s Munster Council delegate Marc Sheehan said that the possibility of ticket packages for the round-robin games was something which would be looked at.
Meanwhile, in delivering his report from Central Council, Cork’s delegate Bob Ryan said that Croke Park had become aware of replica Sam Maguire and Liam MacCarthy Cups in operation. The GAA is to examine legal channels to prosecute under the trademark infringement of passing off.
