Fitzgerald aims to lift gloom around Rebel County

AFTER the senior outfit’s abrupt championship exit last Saturday and the county minors finished for the summer also, the 2011 aspirations of Cork hurling rest with the U21s tonight.

Amongst supporters this game has assumed extra significance but for manager Ger Fitzgerald it is no more important than when he began plotting their preparations for the clash several months ago.

“It’s always been a very significant game for us, that hasn’t increased or decreased over the last few weeks,” he said.
