"It is ironic that the current changes come off the back of unprecedented success at minor and U20 level for Cork football, built on the hard work of Rebel Óg and Games Development officers. The timing when the previous approach has delivered such positive results is truly baffling."

In the letter to Rebel Óg, the clubs responded by saying: "If this approach succeeds in avoiding burnout for strong U13 and U15 players, it will be achieved at the expense of the majority who don't play up."
