Cork chiefs hopeful Kieran Kingston will remain

Kieran Kingston will make a call on his future as Cork manager this weekend as officials remain hopeful he will agree to stay on for another season.

Kingston met with the board last week and admitted to the Irish Examiner last week that he had not made his mind up about 2018.

The 54-year-old has been encouraged to stay after a season where he guided Cork to a Munster title and blooded young hurler of the year candidate Mark Coleman, fellow All-Star nominee Darragh Fitzgibbon, Luke Meade, and his own son Shane. All four started Cork’s four championship games.
