Ronan Curran has stepped away from his role as a selector with the Cork senior hurling team, dismissing rumours of a fallout with captain Ben O’Connor and affirming they remain good friends. Curran cited a lack of “alignment of thoughts” within the backroom team regarding the optimal strategy to secure an All-Ireland title. He indicated differing opinions on how to achieve success, leading to his decision to depart. While specifics weren’t detailed, the issue centers on tactical approaches and the path forward for the team. Curran’s departure is a significant shift for the Rebels as they prepare for the upcoming championship. The Cork management has not yet commented on the situation or announced a replacement for Curran. He departs wishing the team well in their pursuit of honors.
