On the Record

“What will that building do for the performance of young Cork players? I’d seriously question it. I actually think that it’s a monument that’s being built, instead of a centre of excellence.

“There’s two fields there. The clubs are being sold a pup. Because it’s being sold under this guise of a centre of excellence.”

Former Rebels goalkeeper and Sunday Game pundit Donal Óg Cusack is unimpressed with Cork’s development of a centre of excellence.

The fixture list

• A number of Champions League qualifiers take place tomorrow, including the first leg of Arsenal’s clash with Besiktas.
• There’s a full round of Championship matches, with league leaders Bournemouth hosting Nottingham Forest.
• The European Swimming Championships in Berlin continue tomorrow.
