O'Grady to be ratified as new Cork boss on Monday

Donal O'Grady will be officially ratified as the new Cork senior hurling manager on Monday night.

The news is the perfect Christmas present for the Cork hurling panel who climbed down off the picket line just last week.

St Finbarr's clubman O'Grady was head-hunted following All-Ireland wins as a player in 1984 and selector in 1986.

O'Grady will replace Bertie Og Murphy in the position.
