Provincial pride has busy Cussen torn between two loves

THE first weekend of November doesn’t mean an easing of the demands placed on Cork’s Michael Cussen.

Tonight he is selected at full forward on the Munster team to face Connacht in the M Donnelly Interprovincial Football final while tomorrow he lines out for Cork champions Sarsfields in the first round of the Munster senior hurling club championship against Clare outfit Clonlara.

A trainee garda stationed in Dungarvan, Cussen is being pulled in several directions by various GAA masters. But he sees many positives in his situation.
