Observing Rebels rising
Being positioned right underneath the scoreboard has its advantages and disadvantages. When the game was a contest in the first half, you’d have to take a few steps forward, crane your neck and have a gawk up just to be sure you had it tallied properly in your head.
As Cork pulled away early in the second half, there was less craning of the neck as we marvelled at their movement, hunger and confidence as they upped the dosage. But it was only as we walked down the embankment on the final whistle and had a final look back at the scoreboard that we realised what had been achieved by this Cork team.
