Cork Under-20 star Ben Cunningham has blasted the GAA rule which prevented Eoin Downey and Clare’s Adam Hogan playing in tonight’s Munster final.
The Banner led by four points during the second-half but the St Finbarr’s forward played a crucial role in the fightback.
The aforementioned players — who have been lining out for their senior county sides — missed out on the game due to the seven-day eligibility rule governing players at this level.
“I’m just so proud of the lads, so happy to be with this team,” Cunningham says.
“I just have to comment on the situation with Eoin Downey. In my opinion it is an absolute disgrace. Adam Hogan is the same on the other side.
“The best players at our age want to be playing in these games in the Munster final.
“I don’t see why they can’t do it. Eoin would have no problem playing today and playing again in six days’ time. I just think the GAA need to look at it.
“Ben said it a couple of weeks ago. The people up there, they don’t know what they are doing if they won’t allow two players play in a Munster final.
“That is all I have to say.”
