Corcoran’s Déise comments water under the bridge

CORK’S Ronan Curran and Eoin Kelly of Waterford don’t expect Brian Corcoran’s controversial comments about Waterford to be an issue when the two counties clash in the Allianz NHL on Sunday in Walsh Park.

In his autobiography, published before Christmas, Corcoran said that the Cork hurlers viewed their Waterford counterparts as a collection of individuals rather than a team, a statement which angered many in Waterford.

Curran addressed the issue directly at a press conference yesterday in the Granville Hotel, Waterford, ahead of the glamour tie: “I don’t think that’ll be an issue. Brian is obviously a legend to all of us who played with him, and to everyone in Cork, and he’s entitled to write whatever he wanted to in the book. Personally I’m not going to comment on anything that would be said in the dressing-room.”
