Mark Coleman’s jaw injury is not as severe as initially feared and it is hoped that the Cork hurler will be available for the county’s championship campaign.

Cork’s opening game of the Munster SHC round-robin, away to Waterford, is scheduled for April 21, and the early word is that Coleman could be available for their championship opener.
