O’Sullivan: ‘we are not behind anyone in hurling’

CORK chairman Jerry O’Sullivan heaped praise on the county’s All-Ireland winning footballers and insisted that their hurling counterparts “have the talent and the ability to compete and win at any level.”

In his address to Saturday evening’s annual convention at Páirc Uí Chaoimh, O’Sullivan noted that the footballer’s September success was built on a tremendous League campaign.

He said: “They won the title in impressive fashion beating Mayo in the final in Croke Park and this proved, yet again, that League success is a help rather than a hindrance to achieving championship success.
