Cork hurling legend confirmed in key role alongside new Antrim boss

Justin McCarthy is joining PJ O’Mullan’s backroom team.

CORK HURLING LEGEND Justin McCarthy has been confirmed as a member of new Antrim senior hurling manager PJ O’Mullan’s backroom team.

O’Mullan is enlisting the services of ex-Waterford and Limerick boss McCarthy as a consultant.

McCarthy famously guided Waterford to a breakthrough Munster SHC title win in 2002 and he was also in charge of Limerick for an ill-fated spell in later years.

Under McCarthy’s guidance, the Shannonsiders suffered a crushing 2009 All-Ireland semi-final defeat against Tipperary before he was faced with a player mutiny in the following season.

But McCarthy is fondly remembered in Cork as a former All-Ireland, Munster and National League medallist.

Over the years, McCarthy has forged close links in Antrim, helping out with club and intercounty teams in coaching capacities.

And now he’s back involved with the Saffrons as a key member of their top backroom team.

    Whoever wins it’s a win for the sport today, would be great for London to win to promote the sport in the UK, but likewise would be great for Cavan to win, they’re sleeping giants big time and would be great to see them doing well again

    Understand that but then they need to lower ticket prices, but would be great value for money today.

    Cavan will have massive support, Meath Tyrone and Donegal should also have a half decent following, Cork and London will be a close call as to who has the least fans n attendance

    Good effort by the London lads considering the disadvantages they face with no regular challenge games
    And the long hours they put into working and attending training session. Well done for getting this far lads!

    Fair play to London for sticking in it, it’d be mad to see them in a quarter-final.. Expect Cavan to win though.
