Donal Óg ruled out for season

Cork hurling captain Donal Óg Cusack will miss the rest of the 2012 season after suffering a serious Achilles injury in yesterday's Allianz League semi-final against Tipperary.

Cusack took to his Twitter page to confirm the extent of the injury as 'a complete rupture of the Achilles tendon'. He also informed his followers that he would be having an operation 'later today'.
