Walsh has high praise for Cussen

CORK senior hurling manager Denis Walsh has praised the early season form of towering forward Michael Cussen, who scored two goals in a weekend challenge against Waterford.

The 6ft 7ins star was impressive on home soil on Saturday night in a game which marked the official opening of the Sarsfields club’s new sand-based pitch and floodlighting system.

Cork ran out 2-15 to 1-17 winners as John Gardiner lashed over seven points from midfield for the Rebels.
