Legends pass on the flame

Cork GAA announced a series of high-profile underage appointments for their development squads at last night’s Rebel Óg awards.

Ger Cunningham, selector with last year’s All-Ireland senior finalists, takes over the U15 hurlers while former full-back Diarmuid O’Sullivan becomes the U16 manager. All-Ireland club and county winner and former Cork captain Derek Kavanagh takes over the U15 footballers.

“We were conscious that we wanted to appoint people with a high profile but also people willing and able to coach at the highest level,” said Rebel Óg chairman, Marc Sheehan.
