Patrick Horgan: Ben O’Connor’s suggestion previous Cork teams didn’t work hard struck me as odd

After the game Ben O’Connor said Cork had been known down through the years as having nice players who didn’t work hard, and he would only play lads who’d work hard. I don’t know if I agree with Ben there.

Did the Cork-Clare game, or result, come as a surprise? I think so.

They were giving the Cork defence enough of it and we looked set for a great battle.
