Kerrigan blow gives Counihan headache

PAUL KERRIGAN emerged as the latest injury doubt for Cork ahead of Sunday’s Allianz Football League final against Dublin in Croke Park.

Kerrigan injured his hamstring playing a club league game for Nemo Rangers against Carbery Rangers on Saturday. Manager Conor Counihan already has to plan without defender Eoin Cadogan, who will miss out through suspension, while midfielder Aidan Walsh is ruled out after picking up a hamstring injury in Saturday’s All-Ireland U21FC semi-final against Galway.

There was positive news for the Cork management in that Paudie Kissane, Ray Carey, Paul O’Flynn and Ciarán Sheehan all emerged unscathed from a club tie last night.
