Cork senior hurling manager Kieran Kingston has been offered a one-year extension to his tenure, with the Cork player group in favour of him staying in charge.

Kingston was offered the extension by Cork County Board officials in Semple Stadium following the one-point defeat to Galway in the All-Ireland senior hurling quarter-final last Saturday. It’s also understood that officials within the county are resistant to the idea of an outside manager.
