No Cork crisis, says new hurling development chief
The former Kilkenny selector, who worked alongside Brian Cody in winning six All-Ireland SHC titles, was yesterday revealed as the first person to fill the role, a recommendation set out by the Liam Sheedy-led Hurling 2020 group in early 2015. Based in Croke Park, Castlecomer man Fogarty will have specific responsibility for the development of hurling in Antrim, Carlow, Laois, Offaly, and Westmeath.
Last month, Cork’s coaching officer Kevin O’Donovan suggested at a county board meeting following the Munster SHC quarter-final defeat to Tipperary that hurling in the county was in crisis.
