THE prospect of leading Cork into next year’s Guinness All Ireland hurling championship – an honour he held in the 1993 campaign – might appear too tempting as Brian Corcoran contemplates retirement. He would not talk about 07; he’d rather enjoy this week and the upcoming Munster club Championship.

MAYO will head into the championship fray in Markievicz Park this evening without their inspirational captain Fergal Costello.

THE losers of Sunday's Bank of Ireland Munster football final replay in Pairc Uí Chaoimh will face Mayo in Ennis six days later (July 27) in the fourth round of the qualifier system.
