Dónal Óg Cusack’s appointment as Cork minor hurling manager was ratified tonight — but not without strong reservations from some delegates at a county board meeting in Pairc Ui Chaoimh. “I couldn’t support one of the people named tonight as manager and that is Donal Óg Cusack. Responding to Crean, chairperson Tracey Kennedy said “I couldn’t possibly discuss anything like that at a county board meeting”. This is the man who went on the Sunday Games a number of years ago and cut the county board to ribbons. All people we met with regard to all Cork teams agreed Cork hurling has a bit of catching up to do in terms of the aggressive nature in which it is played these days.
