Ger Lane: Replacing Peadar Healy is top priority

Cork GAA chiefs intend to replace outgoing senior football boss Peadar Healy with a coach rather than a manager.

County Board chairman Ger Lane has revealed that finding a coach is their top priority, an appointment he hopes will be made “sooner rather than later”.

John Considine and John Meyler, when charged with overseeing the Cork U17 and U21 hurlers for 2017, were brought in as coaches and not as managers. This approach is now set to dictate who fills the void left by Healy.
