O'Sullivan turns back on retirement
Diarmuid O'Sullivan has changed his mind about retiring from hurling according to Cork team mate Ronan Curran.
O'Sullivan had said he would be quitting the game after it was made compulsory to wear helmets from 1 January.
But Curran, speaking at the launch of Mycro's range of hurling helmets and gloves, said O'Sullivan had changed his mind and ordered a helmet.
Speaking at Croke Park as a representative of Mycro, Curran said: 'Sully will be wearing a helmet. He only rang me two days ago to put in his order.
'There are another few years left in Sully. He's going to play away in the forwards with Cloyne.'
Curran said that Mycro were working on a design to make the helmet more acceptable to defenders and goalkeepers, who tend to find them most problematic as the helmet gets in the way when fielding high balls.
'We're working on something and hopefully towards the end of the year we'll have something out,' he added.
