Douglas shoot down rumours former Cork hurler Cian McCarthy was poached

Douglas hurling manager Willie Coveney would like to set the record straight.

The decision earlier this year of former Cork hurler Cian McCarthy to transfer from his native Sars — with whom he won four county titles — to Douglas prompted a myriad of rumours. Chief among them that the 27-year-old had been poached by the latter.

Not true, says Coveney.
