Busy times for Cunningham as UCC gear up for Cork test

While the rigours of the Dublin senior hurling manager’s job have yet to fully kick in for Ger Cunningham, he remains busy in his other sideline role, that of guiding the hurlers of UCC.

Tonight, UCC face Cork in the third annual Canon O’Brien Cup — the first since the Canon’s passing in November.

Cunningham admits there is an extra significance to the game, which has a 7.30pm throw-in at the Mardyke.
