Given the Sunday Game's current focus on hurling managers, I am surprised that Kieran Kingston has not been subject to the same scrutiny as Mattie Kenny. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 2551 - 09/02/2022 13:57:53 2399515 Link 0 |
Should be Kingston obviously not Kenny in second line! BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 2551 - 09/02/2022 14:12:28 2399518 Link 0 |
It was mentioned somewhere in recent days that it is his last year, maybe he's decided that himself, he stepped down previously due to his work commitments.

I did read an interview he did with local media in Cork and he didn't sound like he was going to step aside at the end of the year, but I shall take your word for it. Anyway, I was merely using him as an example as I thought that Donal Óg - who I usually rate highly as a pundit - was engaging in a bit of a gratuitous stocking filler to criticise Kenny whose managerial record is not all that different from any of the others outside of Limerick over the past three years. I don't think there has been any more of a clamour to replace Kingston - whether he stays or goes - than there is regarding Mattie. Which is none that I can see within the county.

Well it should be, but with politics and favoritism, who knows in Cork hurling! foreveryoung (USA) - Posts: 1909 - 10/02/2022 15:46:57 2399681 Link 0 |
I wouldn't imagine there's a huge queue to take over any county at the moment. Who'd be most likely Cork successor? The Rock maybe. Actually he might bring Donal Óg on board! There's certainly no one looking for Mattie's job here, other than the usual character(s) flying kites who go from one county to the other! If and when he does decide to go, I'd love to see DJ if he has any ambitions county wise and assuming Gandalf stays for another ten years! He's been brilliant with Carlow.

Ben O' Connor is most likely to be the next manager. He has proven himself as a successful manager with the underage teams, and these players are the future for Cork hurlers. The All Ireland winning minor and under 20 teams of 2021 will secure the future and Ben O' Connor hopefully will be at the helm! Rockies (Cork) - Posts: 947 - 13/02/2022 12:10:45 2400070 Link 0 |
