Rebel County legend Morgan lands UCC role

CORK football legend Billy Morgan has been appointed a manager of UCC’s Sigerson Cup team for the coming season, as the college aims to end a 14-year spell without success in the premier third-level football competition.

Morgan, who won two Sigerson Cup titles with UCC as a player, will be embarking on his first managerial venture outside of his club Nemo Rangers since his tenure as Cork boss ended after the 2007 All-Ireland final.

Morgan’s management team will consist of John Corcoran, a former Cork football selector with Morgan; Frank Cogan, who won an All-Ireland medal 1973 for Cork alongside Morgan; and Paul O’Keeffe, who captained UCC to their last Sigerson Cup success in 1995.
