Cork coach makes pledge to panelists
O'Grady and his opposite number, Pad Joe Whelahan took a notebook of positives from Saturday's challenge in Fermoy as Cork prepare for their opening Allianz League date with Limerick on February 23, and Birr finalise preparations for the All Ireland Club SHC semi-final a week earlier.
"This was a nice workout for us," said O'Grady. "All we were looking for was some decent hurling practice and we certainly got that", he said. "The conditions were not ideal but having said that I couldn't fault the players for effort. Their commitment was excellent and augurs well for the season. We have close to two teams on the go at the moment with the intention to give every player an opportunity show what he can do.
