The good news for Cork hurling is that young Ben O’Connor will make his first appearance of the year for the county’s U20 side in Friday’s Munster championship game away to Limerick. 

The not so good news for Cork hurling is that indications are that O’Connor will join the Munster Rugby Academy later this year, bringing the curtain down on his burgeoning GAA career.
