Rebels must phone a friend as O2 end 15-year relationship

Cork County Board chairman Bob Ryan expects to secure a new jersey sponsor in the “not too distant future” after O2 ended their 15-year association with the county.

It is understood the telecommunications company signalled their intentions to the board back in February but the news was only confirmed yesterday.

Cork will be keen to have a new jersey unveiled in time for the Christmas market and are expected to be ready to make an announcement possibly before the end of month.
