CORK hurlers begin their 2024 season with a home clash against All-Ireland champions Limerick in the Munster Hurling League this Sunday, January 7th, in Mallow (2pm). Pat Ryan’s men also play Clare in Group A, the counties clashing on January 14th as preparations crank up ahead of the national league throw-in.
On December 30th, Cork lost their grip of the Canon O’Brien Cup when they were beaten 1-24 to 1-23 by UCC at the Mardyke, Brian Hayes scoring the winner. There was West Cork interest in the UCC team as Randal Óg’s Sean Daly, an All-Ireland U20 winner last season, lined out in defence.
