Rebels’ wait for silverware too long, admits Cronin

Having been such a dominant hurling force in both the Munster and All-Ireland Championships for so long, the Cork hurlers have had to endure seven trophy-less years, and midfielder Pa Cronin admits that wait is too long.

Speaking after he picked up the award for hurler of the year for his season with Bishopstown at the Reardens All Star team announcement, Cronin maintained that the current Cork squad just needs one trophy to build momentum and provide the confidence to challenge for an All-Ireland.

“It was 2005 when we won the last Munster and the last All-Ireland so hopefully now we can give Munster a good rattle and see how we get on and that would give confidence to the team massively going forward,” Cronin said.
