Cork hurling manager Ben O'Connor will trim his panel in the coming weeks. "Look, it's the side of it that I don't like doing, but fellas know when they come in at the start, they know it's going to be cut to that. O'Connor was "disappointed" with the one-point loss to a UCC team featuring players who will line out for his Cork senior side in 2026. Delighted that we've got this game under our belt today because today was the day that we kicked off the hurling side of it. So it's nice to get fellas out hurling and see where they're at."
