Barr’s coaching job for Barry-Murphy

FORMER Cork senior hurling coach Jimmy Barry-Murphy is back in team management after a four year absence.

At the St Finbarr’s AGM, he was appointed coach to the club’s senior hurling team for 2004 and will be joined by another former stalwart Charlie McCarthy.

They selection committee will be completed by Brian Hurley, Niall Goulding and Frank Deasy and they face a difficult task in restoring the club’s hurling fortunes which have slipped alarmingly.
