[QUOTE="eastcorkeagle, post: 7431139, member: 52431"] I'm sick to the back teeth of saying the Cork County Board never did anything to promote hurling or football in schools, players were ready made for minor from playing Corn Uí Mhuiri or Harty. It is very evident, the decline of the clergy and Cork GAA are indisputably correlated. Fellahs never went to school (apart from Colman's) to play hurling or football, they basically went to the nearest school like Midleton CBS, the Mon, CCRi and the brothers there were massively committed to either develop or get students interested and had they had a immense passion for gaelic games and athletics. Schools like CSN, PBC, Glanmire, Hammys were more diverse in their approch to sport and never achieved anywhere near the same success. Another problem is that the Cork players are beyond soft, there is no player block laying, plastering or piking bales on any Cork team. They lack natural strength. Noel O'Leary was the last of that real naturally strong, tough work horse of a player. Then you also have the problem with youngsters playing with Rebel Og (divisional like sides) thinking they've made it and are playing for Cork. They need to be told they are not on any Cork team, they are on a divisional side. This bullsh*t has to stop. The Cork County Board need to get into the schools are start promoting and developing the games properly. I doubt any region in Rebel Og could produce what CCRi did in 1989 [ATTACH type="full"]32329[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
