Counihan main rival to Morgan for Cork job

FORMER defender, Conor Counihan has emerged as Billy Morgan’s main rival to replace Larry Tompkins as Cork football manager.

County Board chiefs hope to present their nomination to delegates next Tuesday night, with indications that Counihan could be the surprise choice.

Former coach Morgan has been installed as the favourite to return to the Cork hot-seat for the first time since 1996, but his selection is now far from certain.
