Counihan accepts invitation to stay on with Cork

Conor Counihan has agreed to accept the Cork County Board’s offer of a two-year extension as senior football manager.

The 2010 All-Ireland winning boss, who was appointed in February 2008, will take charge of the county for a sixth season next year.

He will do so with an almost completely new management team as Ger O’Sullivan, Terry O’Neill and Jim Nolan have decided to step down due to a number of reasons such as length of time served as selectors and work commitments.
