Aidan O’Connell expected to hit the ground running in new Cork GAA role

Munster Rugby’s loss is Cork GAA’s gain as Aidan O’Connell joins the latter organisation as their first ever high-performance manager.

Following a “rigorous interview process”, O’Connell was yesterday appointed to the role, bringing to an end both his role as Munster Rugby’s senior strength and conditioning coach and a 17-year involvement with the province.
