Walsh adds McManus and Burke to backroom team

CORK hurling boss Denis Walsh has finalised his backroom setup for the 2010 campaign by enlisting the services of former Munster rugby fitness coach Mark McManus and former Cork minor physical trainer Donal Burke.

Walsh adds McManus and Burke to backroom team

McManus, who apart from his Munster rugby experience, has recently been involved with Cork senior hurling outfit Erin’s Own and Cork underage development squads, will fill the role of strength and conditioning coach. Castlemartyr native Burke, who was a teammate of Walsh’s in the Imokilly side that reached the 1987 county football final, will be the team’s physical trainer.

“I believe they’ll be major additions to the backroom team,” stated Walsh. “Mark will be starting out by putting in place individual strength and conditioning programmes from November 1. I would also like to put on record my appreciation of the work that Jerry Wallace did for us this year and for all the work that he has put in with Cork over the past number of years.”
