Jimmy Barry-Murphy will continue as manager of the Cork hurlers for a further two-year term, Cork GAA has confirmed.

Barry-Murphy, who managed his native county to an All-Ireland title in 1999, took over for a second spell in charge of the Rebels in 2011 and led them to the All-Ireland final last season, where they were beaten by Clare after a replay.

This year, Cork claimed the Munster title for the first time since 2006, defeating holders Limerick in the decider, before losing in the All-Ireland semi-final to old rivals Tipperary

A statement on www.gaacork.ie read: "Cork GAA wishes to confirm that, following a meeting with the County Chairman on Wednesday, Senior Hurling manager Jimmy Barry-Murphy has agreed to stay on for a further two-year term.

"He will confirm his backroom team in due course."
