Colm Spillane our star player left the field after jarring his knee midway through the second half of the Cork versus Waterford league game on Saturday evening last.  It is most unfortunate that a scan has revealed that he has ruptured his cruciate ligament and will undergo surgery in due course.

This is a major blow for Colm as he was in sparkling form this year after a mighty championship season for us last year and, of course, some great displays with Cork in the Munster League and especially the Allianz versus Waterford last Saturday evening.  He now faces a nine-month layoff.

We wish Colm a full and speedy recovery but knowing the commitment and strength of the man we are confident that he will be back better than ever.
