Rebels not on 'revenge' mission: O'Sullivan

The Cork senior hurling panel are not motivated by a desire to get back into an All Ireland Final as a means of protesting over the way Croke Park chiefs handled the fallout from "Semplegate".

The Cork senior hurling panel are not motivated by a desire to get back into an All-Ireland SHC final as a means of protesting over the way Croke Park chiefs handled the fallout from "Semplegate".

That's according to Cloyne's All Star inter-county full back Diarmuid O'Sullivan who along with Eamonn O'Hara has been recruited by global sports giant Nike to promote their new Total 90 Laser boot.

The man they call 'The Rock' lined out for Cork in their hard fought one point defeat to Tipp in their qualifier in Thurles last Saturday night and admits he has to pay due credit to the Premier over the manner of their win which means Gerald McCarthy's side now has another encounter against Waterford en route to the All-Ireland SHC semi-finals.
