Corkery looks forward to Con challenge

FORMER Ireland and Munster flanker David Corkery is looking forward to what he describes as the greatest challenge of his career.

Corkery, capped 27 times for Ireland, is to take over as coach of Cork Constitution next season, succeeding Christy Cantillon.

The Irish and Munster player was forced into retirement because of an Achilles heel injury a couple of seasons ago, but has been employed as a development officer with the Munster Branch of the Irish Rugby Football Union ever since.
