Landers Looking forward to the Sevens!
Cork 1999 All-Ireland winning captain Mark Landers is eagerly looking forward to Saturday’s Meteor Kilmacud Crokes All-Ireland Hurling Sevens.
Currently managing his home club Killeagh Mark says “The Sevens is always a great day’s hurling. You only have to look at the recent winners (Portumna, Sarsfields and Erins Own for example ) to see Its an extremely tough competition to win. Speed and skill are at a premium. We’ll be giving it our best shot and are in a tough group with Boherlaan Dualla, Burgess and Carnmore. Over the years Tipperary and Galway teams have specialised in the Sevens.”

Martin Coleman is the bearer of a famous name, being the son of Cork 1970’s three in a row netminder Martin senior.
Martin Og has been on the Cork panel for the last number of years and this weekend takes part in his first Meteor Kilmacud Crokes All-Ireland Hurling Sevens with his club Ballinhassig. Martin says the 2007 and 2008 Cork Senior League winners, managed by former Wexford manager John Meyler, “Sevens is a new game for us. I’ve spoken to a lot of people who’ve taken part in the tournament and we’re really looking forward to it. We have prepared well and are hopeful, if we get the rub of the green, of doing well.”
