Corcoran may make Cork comeback

FORMER two-times Texaco Hurler of the Year Brian Corcoran last night trained with the Cork senior side — two-and-a-half years after he retired from the game.

Corcoran, also a two-time Allstar, sensationally quit hurling after his club Erin’s Own were defeated by UCC in the Cork SHC of 2001. The dual star cited tiredness after almost a decade of playing both codes for club and county at all levels.

However, the 31-year-old, who won an All-Ireland SHC medal in 1999, was persuaded to make a return to club hurling prior to Christmas, which he duly did in January.
