Coaching officer wants Cork football to heed hurling template

The coaching officer of the Cork County Board believes football should take a leaf out of hurling’s book with regard to managerial appointments.

Peadar Healy’s term as senior football manager ended at the weekend after defeat to Mayo, while junior manager Paul McCarthy’s term is also up.

The U21 grade becomes U20 next year while minor changes from U18 to U17 and those two roles are also to be filled.
