Kennelly stands out in boring mismatch

“SWITCH off your television. Go and walk the dog” – That is the group text Cork manager Conor Counihan should have sent from Croke Park yesterday to all his panel after Tommy Walsh’s goal in the second-half of this listless, boring mismatch.

Complacency could set into any opponent who stayed with this game until the end. Likewise, the GAA would want to be very careful not to have too many of these ‘encounters’ or the discerning public will vote with their feet.

It was that bad.
