Paudie returns to Cork training

Cork hurler Paudie O’Sullivan has returned to training with the county squad, a year after suffering a horrific leg break in a club championship game.

However, selector Johnny Crowley admits it is too early to say if the Cloyne man will be fit for the Munster SHC opener against Waterford on May 25.

“Paudie is back in full training now,” Crowley said, “it’s full contact, he’s dealing with it well and he’s improving every night. Fitness is a big thing as he needs to get the strength back into his legs. He has been out for a long time and it’s not easy to get back up to speed straight away.
