Rebels dealt O'Mahony injury blow

Cork's Cathal O'Mahony in action against Dublin's Daire Newcombe

Cork football manager John Cleary expects Cathail O’Mahony to be sidelined for the “next few weeks” after he suffered a hamstring injury in last week’s Sigerson Cup final.

The dual star, who won an All-Ireland club JHC medal with Ballygiblin last month, missed Sunday’s defeat to Dublin after sustaining the injury during UCC’s extra-time win over UL last Wednesday. He was due to have a scan yesterday to ascertain the extent of the damage. 

The highly-rated forward was sidelined for 10 weeks in 2021 after tearing his hamstring in an Allianz League Division 2 relegation playoff win over Westmeath, and Cork supporters are keeping their fingers crossed that this injury is less serious.
