HUSSEY DISMAYED AT MILK CUP FUNDING
• 13th Apr 2010
•  Fermanagh & Western Football Association NOT to assist with funding both the Tyrone and the Fermanagh Milk Cup Squads

"My I express my disappointment, if not dismay, in regard to a recent decision taken by the Fermanagh & Western Football Association NOT to assist with funding both the Tyrone and the Fermanagh Milk Cup Squads this year.
 
I understand that a request from the Tyrone Milk Cup organisation for funding assistance was received by the Association and that it was indicated that a request from the Fermanagh organisation was pending.  I am unaware of the amount(s) requested but I believe that both requests were refused and am at a loss to understand why.
 
Surely, in addition to running Association Football in the Fermanagh and South & West Tyrone regions, one of the concerns of the Association should be the future development of our young players - the type of opportunity afforded to our young players via the County Milk Cup organisations.
 
I would urge the Association to review their decision although I have no knowledge of the current financial position of the body and have no doubt that the Income & Expenditure figures to be provided at the Association’s AGM will make interesting reading."
