Miskella keeping hurlers in shape

FORMER Cork footballer John Miskella is to make a speedy return to GAA after his retirement through injury.

Miskella, who won an All-Ireland in 2010, will be physical trainer to the premier intermediate hurlers with his club Ballincollig, while another ex-Cork star, Podsie O’Mahony has the same role with the club’s senior footballers.

Meanwhile, former Limerick great TJ Ryan will take charge of Kilworth’s hurlers in 2012, while Tony Wall, Tomás Mulcahy, Don Cronin, Damien Wallace and Ger Riordan form the management team at Glen Rovers, who bid to end a 23 year title drought in the Cork senior hurling championship this season.
