Corkness? Talk about squandermania

We were in the bowels of the new Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Saturday as word started seeping through from Limerick, where the Cork footballers were beginning their game with Mayo, one which eventually went to extra time, writes Michael Moynihan.

By the time this writer got home the game had finished with Mayo one ahead, and soon afterwards more news seeped through: Cork manager Peadar Healy had stepped down at the Gaelic Grounds.

In another county a showing like that against Mayo would have been the foundation stone for 2018, maybe, not a pink slip.
