Con’s young guns come through

TWENTY-TWO year old prop Mike Ross has been tipped to go all the way by Cork Constitution coach Christy Cantillon.

"He is a budding John Hayes, there is no doubt about that," enthused Cantillon after watching his side steal a bonus point in the dying seconds at Temple Hill on Saturday.

Fermoy boy Ross, who arrived at Con from UCC this season, was tipping the scales at 25 stones when the club toured Canada this summer. Now he is trimmed down a bit and put himself about a lot as Constitution secured the victory required to give them top billing in the AIB League.
