Less than two weeks after the Cork hurling management, in which he was part of, stepped down, Donal O’Rourke has joined the Waterford sideline as their new coach.

O’Rourke wore the title of coach during Pat Ryan’s recently ended three-year spell as Cork manager, with O’Rourke’s native county wasting no time in securing his coaching services once his involvement on Leeside had come to an end.
