Cusack to be replaced as Cork decide on new skipper

Dónal Óg Cusack is unlikely to captain the Cork senior hurlers in 2013, with a new skipper likely to be appointed in the next fortnight.

Goalkeeper Cusack was selected by manager Jimmy Barry-Murphy at the start of last year’s campaign, but did not play after injuring his Achilles tendon in the league semi-final against Tipperary in April.

With a return date for Cusack still to be confirmed, the Cork management team are set to pick a new captain prior to the first Waterford Crystal Cup game against UCC at the Mardyke on January 19.
