CORK HURLING LEGEND Justin McCarthy has been confirmed as a member of new Antrim senior hurling manager PJ O’Mullan’s backroom team.
O’Mullan is enlisting the services of ex-Waterford and Limerick boss McCarthy as a consultant.
McCarthy famously guided Waterford to a breakthrough Munster SHC title win in 2002 and he was also in charge of Limerick for an ill-fated spell in later years.

But McCarthy is fondly remembered in Cork as a former All-Ireland, Munster and National League medallist.
Over the years, McCarthy has forged close links in Antrim, helping out with club and intercounty teams in coaching capacities.
