Midleton full-back Eoin Moloney has been ruled out of Sunday week's Cork hurling final and will undergo surgery on his ruptured Achilles this Friday.

Midleton manager Micheál Keohane confirmed on Wednesday evening that the injury sustained by the in-form defender towards the end of last Sunday’s extra-time semi-final win over Blackrock was indeed a season-ending one.
