CORK COUNTY BOARD chiefs are set to offer Conor Counihan a new two-year term as senior football boss.
The announcement was made at a county board meeting tonight with Counihan also to be given the responsibility of picking his own selectors. It is understood that Counihan may opt to alter the make-up of his back room team which has consisted of Ger O’Sullivan (Dromtarriffe), Peadar Healy (Naomh Aban), Terry O’Neill (Bantry Blues) and Jim Nolan (Castlehaven) since he took over in February 2008.
If the Aghada club man accepts the invitation, the county board executive are empowered to rubber-stamp his appointment immediately.
There had been speculation over Counihan’s future in the wake of last month’s All-Ireland semi-final loss to Donegal as to whether his five-season reign would be extended. But the proposed new term paves the way for the 2010 All-Ireland winning boss to stay at the helm with the Rebels.
Counihan has claimed three Munster titles with the Cork senior side in 2008, 2009 and 2012 along with three Division 1 league crowns in 2010, 2011 and 2012 and a Division 2 league title in 2009.
Aaaaahhhhh happy days!
5 year unbeaten run…
Yes, lets list the European giants who went and failed:
Newcastle Falcons, Newport Gwent Dragons (x2), Edinburgh, Leeds Tykes (I’m not joking, this is the real list), Cardiff Blues, Calvisano, Beneton Treviso (x2), London Wasps, Castres & London Irish…
Confirmed: Everest conquered.
All three French internationals were no match for the mighty Munster. For updates, tune into the Pro D2.
How sad are you to spend your time looking up that info. That’s noy easily got! How far out of your way did you have to go? Get a life and get over yourself.
USAP were virtually unbeatable in that stadium before Munster won there, not just in Europe. I seem to recall something like a 35 match unbeaten run before Munster played there.
Must be a burden to have such a large chip on your shoulder.
I would say its not much of a burden as it well balanced with a chip on both shoulders. How sad to waste your time looking all that info up in the first place.
Those days are long gone.
