Former Cork selector Diarmuid O'Sullivan has revealed that he told Aidan Walsh he was giving up on hurling too early, when he left the Rebels' panel in 2016. "For Aidan in the full-forward role, I'd ask what type of system are they trying to employ with him? I said it to him when he left our panel after our first year with him that he gave up on hurling a bit early. He believes that the team need to earn a win soon after back-to-back League defeats against Kilkenny and Wexford. However, they need to find a win somewhere to get confidence and moral back up in the squad."
