Sars helping to write new chapter in Rebel history

With four players — Conor O’Sullivan, Daniel Kearney, Cian McCarthy and Michael Cussen — likely to be in Sunday’s matchday panel, Sarsfields boast the strongest representation in the Cork senior hurling squad.

Such recognition follows on the back of winning three of the last five Cork SHC titles, a far cry from the 51 barren years between 1957 and 2008.

Bertie Óg Murphy, who coached Sars to that famine-ending victory in 2008, feels that a some stellar work at underage level helped to lay the foundations for the current state of affairs.
