Cork hurling legend Tomás Mulcahy has ruled out succeeding manager Jimmy Barry-Murphy and wants his former playing colleague to see out his term as Cork hurling manager.

Tomás Mulcahy has emerged as the hot favourite to be the next Cork senior hurling manager as doubts persist about Jimmy Barry-Murphy’s willingness to continue in the position next season.

The pressure is on Clare hurling manager Davy Fitzgerald to deliver a Munster championship victory on Sunday, according to Tomás Mulcahy.

Former Cork hurler Tomás Mulcahy believes news of a positive drugs test on an unnamed Monaghan footballer will set “alarm bells” ringing in county squads throughout Ireland.
