Cork colleagues back Donal Óg

Donal Óg Cusack's Cork hurling colleagues backed him "100%" last night following the sensational revelations about his private life, saying the long-serving goalkeeper would be fully supported by "genuine GAA people".

Excerpts from Cusack’s forthcoming autobiography, 'Come What May', were serialised in a Sunday newspaper, detailing the Cloyne club man’s homosexuality, and his Cork team-mates were unanimous in their backing for him yesterday.
