Cork Minor hurlers unfazedby new format

The system of recent years, whereby counties who lost their opening game were afforded a second chance, has been replaced by a round-robin model that mirrors the new senior format.
“Last year, it was week-on-week, too, but the Munster [U17] championship was over by this stage, we went April 11, April 18 and April 25,” said manager John Considine, who successfully oversaw the U17s in 2017.
