The Cork footballers have been dealt a double ACL blow as both Killian O’Hanlon and Aidan Browne suffered the season-ending injury during the past week.

Midfielder O’Hanlon, a first-team regular since the summer of 2019, ruptured both his anterior cruciate ligament and medial meniscus during training on Tuesday last and is set for a lengthy stay on the sideline.
