CONOR Hourihane has been appointed Barnsley head coach on a permanent basis. The Bandon man, who has been in caretaker charge of Barnsley for the past six games, has signed a two-year contract effective immediately, with a club option of a third season,‘It’s pretty emotional, to be honest. I’m really honoured. I had success as captain, and now I want success as a head coach - it’s as simple as that. I want to win football matches more than anyone.

THERE’S a distinct lack of noise – perhaps even interest – in the build up to the latest installment of Cork v Kerry, the once-intense rivalry that has lost its edge. Where once this battle of the Munster bluebloods, whether they went to war in Páirc Uí Chaoimh or Killarney, captured the imagination and demanded your attention, the reality is now it passes many people by. The GAA needs to wake up. The landscape is changing. Society is changing.

‘ANY day you go out against Kerry and you have a 50/50 chance you are in a good place,’ Micheál O’Sullivan suggests. Experience has taught him that. First, as a player. Then a manager. Even then, the odds often favour the neighbours. The former Cork footballer doesn’t see this Saturday’s Munster senior football semi-final as quite the 50/50 game given the gulf between the teams, but still maintains the Rebels can rattle the crowd across the county bounds.

MÉABH Cahalane reckons that just two of the current Cork senior camogie squad have won national league medals. She hopes that number swells dramatically this Sunday afternoon. You have to go back to 2013 for Cork’s last Division 1 league title, but the Rebels’ class of 2025 has the chance to end this wait when they take on Galway in the Very National League Division 1A final at Semple Stadium, Thurles (2.15pm throw-in).

THE irony wasn’t lost on Ronan O’Gara. The Cork man who rose to fame wearing the number 10 jersey of Munster was undone by a West Cork man who is the current holder of the flame, Jack Crowley. It was Crowley’s sprinkling of stardust that lifted Munster to this simply brilliant Champions Cup last-16 triumph away to O’Gara’s La Rochelle, edging an epic by a single point (25-24) to set a quarter-final back in France this Saturday, against Bordeaux Bègles.
