Shane Kingston says father-son dynamic ‘makes no difference’ in Cork hurling set-up

Shane Kingston: When talking to his father ‘we try to keep the Cork stuff separate’.

Now in their third year as player and manager, Shane Kingston insists his relationship with his father Kieran in the Cork set-up is a comfortable one.

Colm Collins, Jack O’Connor and Brian Cody are just three current managers who have brought their sons into the panel, while previous ones such as Joe Kernan have stepped away to allow their sons stand on their own two feet and avoid any suggestions of nepotism.
