Veteran Cork stars commit to cause for 2017 campaign

Alan and Donncha O’Connor have committed to the Cork football squad for 2017, selector Eoin O’Neill has confirmed.

Both players had a limited involvement in Cork’s 2016 campaign, but are keen to continue at inter-county level for another year.

Neither, however, will feature in this evening’s McGrath Cup opener away to Tipperary (Templetuohy, 7.30pm) as both have been excused from match-duty for the month of January.
