Cork's hurling resurgence earns Kieran Kingston manager of the month award

Kingston masterminded Cork’s resurgence in 2017 after his young side won their first Munster senior hurling championship in three years as they beat Tipperary, Waterford and Clare en route to a 53rd provincial crown.

Sunday’s All-Ireland semi-final proved a hurdle too far as they lost by 11 points to Waterford at Croke Park, but Cork — not even considered as contenders for the Liam MacCarthy Cup at the start of the year — made huge strides under Kingston.
