Honohan escapes cruciate curse

Paul Honohan has become the latest Cork footballer to suffer a knee injury.

However, manager Conor Counihan is confident the Bishopstown attacker is not a victim of the cruciate curse that has hit the Rebels over the past 12 months.

Honohan, who started at corner-forward in last month’s McGrath Cup final win over Tipperary, sustained the damage when challenging for possession in a county training game at the Na Piarsaigh grounds on Tuesday night.
