The 2008 Cork hurlers have released a statement today outlining their intent to hold a press conference in the near future.

The statement reads: 'Due to the length and complexities of the statements issued by Gerald McCarthy and the Cork County Board on Tuesday and the gravity of the situation, the Cork Senior Hurling panel of 2008 has decided to hold a press conference to deal, in detail, with all of the issues involved in the coming days.'

Details of arrangements will follow when confirmed.

The long-running dispute between the former Cork senior hurling panel and the County Board came to a head on Tuesday night, with Rebel officials and McCarthy reluctantly ending efforts at diplomacy.
