Ryan facing Horgan challenge in Cork

30 November 2009

Cork vice-chairman Bob Ryan will face a challenge from Midleton's Pat Horgan at next month's county convention.

Horgan served for over 20 years as Midleton chairman when the club enjoyed its most glorious spell in senior ranks. And like Inniscarra clubman Ryan, he is a former PRO of the county board.

The results of the election will be known on Friday, December 11, the eve of the Annual Convention at Páirc Uí Chaoimh.

There are also elections for the position of Irish Cultural Officer, Munster Council delegate and Central Council delegate, but most interest will centre on the high-profile battle for the vice-chair, a position filled in most recent years without a contest.

Nominations for officerships:

Chairman:Gerry O'Sullivan; Vice Chairman: Bob Ryan, Pat Horgan; Treasurer: Pierse Murphy; Development Officer: Jimmy Murphy; Youth Officer: Marc Sheehan; Pro: Ger Lane; Irish Cultural Officer: Liam O Laochdha, Daithí Pearse; Coaching Officer: Denis Keohane; Central Council Delegate: Des Cullinane, Finbar McCarthy, Mick Dolan; Munster Council Delegate: Gerry O'Sullivan, Pierse Murphy.
