Board to select next Cork boss

THE appointment process for selecting the next Cork senior hurling manager is expected to be overseen by the county board rather than the three-man independent committee used to select Denis Walsh in March 2009.

Walsh’s term came to an end after Saturday’s qualifier defeat to Galway but he may still be in the frame to be re-appointed.

Regardless of whether Walsh receives another tenure, or a search for a new manager commences, the responsibility is likely to revert to the county board.
