Two massive losses in Coleman and Connolly for the season
That’s terribleYes. Alan played last season with a recovered dislocated shoulder. Played the county and club season with shoulder wrapped up every game. Got surgery on it last week. Will be out for at least 6 months in recovery.
Why was surgery so late?Yes. Alan played last season with a recovered dislocated shoulder. Played the county and club season with shoulder wrapped up every game. Got surgery on it last week. Will be out for at least 6 months in recovery.
He would indeed be a huge loss, six months seems an extraordinarily long time for recovery from a shoulder injury.Why was surgery so late?
Blackrock were knocked out of championship mid October. If this was a recurring problem with surgery planned, having surgery over two months later has effectively ended his inter county season next year.
Late October would have given him a fighting chance to make it back for April or May.
He will be a huge loss as he’s one of the few forwards that bring physicality up front along with Harnedy.
Suddenly the squad is looking a lot barer.Feel sorry for the two boys as both tremendous hurlers. He must have got the shoulder pinned which will solve it once and for all. Connolly will probably be our fullforward from 2024 on presuming Harnedy and Hoggie retire. Best wishes lads we appreciate everything ye do for Cork hurling.
Can’t afford many more injuries - two starters out for 2023 already.Suddenly the squad is looking a lot barer.
