A delegation of 12 players convened last night to discuss the proposal by the Cork county board to employ binding arbitration in a last-ditch effort to resolve the ongoing stalemate.

Should the players agree to enter the process an independent mediator would act as the independent third-party arbitrator between the warring parties.

However they are unlikely to agree to enter any such process as it could lead to a binding decision to reaffirm Teddy Holland’s place as football manager. At Tuesday night’s meeting of club delegates in Pairc Ui Chaoimh, two motion of no confidence was placed in Holland, but no vote took place after neither motion was seconded.

GAA President Nickey Brennan had made clear that time is running out to sort out the crisis. GAA officials have so far refused to place a deadline however on Cork’s participation in this week’s National League competitions, insisting that the Rebels will be given as much time as possible to resolve the dispute.
