What a boost this is for Cork hurling and their chances in lifting the Liam McCarthy cup for the first time since 2005. Talented football Brian Hayes has opted for the Cork hurling panel rather than the footballers, huge blow for the footballers but what a boost for Cork hurling manager Pat Ryan.

Big loss to Cork football

It’s going to make for a great Championship next year and the league is going to be very interesting to see what players are blooded. It’s been a famine down in Cork for many years now, the last time to win the All-Ireland were the footballers in 2010.

Munster is going to be extremely hard to get out of next year, so it’s a good thing that Cork will be boosted by St. Finbarr’s man Brian Hayes.
