Clifford leaves Cloyne to take over the helm at intermediate club Cobh

LAST season’s Cloyne senior hurling coach, Donal Clifford, has made a surprise move and will guide the fortunes of intermediate club Cobh for 2004.

Clifford led Cloyne to the county semi-final and came very close to shocking Blackrock. He was expected to give it another shot, but as he lives in Cobh, has agreed to help improve the lot of the Harbour club.

Cloyne will again be steered by the same selectors for next year and its expected that the coaching position will be filled from within.
