Anthony Daly: Cork were rudderless and spiritless

Cork need to have a serious look at themselves. They have loads of talent but talent means nothing in the modern game without appetite, desire and proper application

A great day. Great to be back amongst the great unwashed for the championship. It’s been a long time since I was in Thurles amongst our own supporters for a championship match in Thurles. It was a brilliant experience, with the sweetness added to the taste with the manner of such an impressive win.

I was sitting in the Ryan Stand around the 20-metre line but they were good seats. I couldn’t complain anyway because my great friend Colin ‘Higgy’ Higgins got the tickets. To provide even more balance to the experience, my good buddy from Mayfield, Pat ‘Polish’ Bozynski was also sitting beside us (the only Polish man with a Dr Harty Cup medal). Thankfully, Pat didn’t get too many opportunities to stretch his vocal cords. There was no chance for him to belt out any renditions of ‘De Banks’.
