Former Cork manager Denis Walsh says Ben O’Connor will ensure the group moves on quickly from Ciarán Joyce’s season-ending cruciate rupture and Rob Downey’s ankle ligament damage.

The Cork senior hurling camp confirmed Joyce tore his anterior cruciate ligament contesting a ball with Shane O’Brien in just the third minute of Sunday’s Munster SHC Round 2 win over Limerick in SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh.
