Fitzgerald: future bright for Cork

CORK U21 hurling boss Ger Fitzgerald last night said last winter’s acrimonious senior hurling strike should be left in the past and that he is determined to focus his energies on his new position within the county.

Fitzgerald was appointed as the new U21 hurling manager at Tuesday night’s Cork County Board meeting, filling the post vacated when John Considine’s term of office drew to a close after last June’s Munster U21HC defeat against Tipperary.

Fitzgerald served as a senior selector under former Cork boss Gerald McCarthy until he resigned last March, and will also be joined on the new U21 management team by fellow former senior selectors Teddy McCarthy and John Mortell.
