The Cork County Board looks set for another confrontation with the senior county players after the footballers announced their intention to boycott the presentation of Munster Championship medals.
The footballers were due to be awarded the medals at a function which was to be held at the end of the month.
However, they have written to the county board informing them of their decision in a move that will be interpreted as a display of solidarity with the senior county hurlers, who are refusing to play under manager Gerald McCarthy.
