Cork prepare for Clare

CORK senior hurling coach Donal O’Grady is concerned about the fitness of centre back Ronan Curran as he prepares for the Munster SHC semi-final against Clare on June 8.

Curran was one of a number of players who sustained injuries during a challenge game against Offaly at the weekend which O’Grady described as farcical in the extreme.

“Apart from the game which was a meaningless exercise after about 10 minutes, we picked up a couple of injuries which we could do without,” O’Grady said.
