Tomás Mulcahy: Jimmy Barry-Murphy should stay on as Cork manager

Cork hurling legend Tomás Mulcahy has ruled out succeeding manager Jimmy Barry-Murphy and wants his former playing colleague to see out his term as Cork hurling manager.

Recent speculation has centred on Barry-Murphy stepping down after a disappointing defeat at the hands of Galway, who have since reached the All-Ireland final, and Mulcahy, who played alongside Barry-Murphy in the All-Ireland victories of 1984 and 1986, had been identified as the front-runner in the succession stakes.

Yesterday the Glen Rovers clubman responded to those suggestions.
