Road to redemption for Sexton

A YEAR on from their last Munster championship defeat to Kerry and Cork aren’t thinking about revenge so much as redemption.

Even 13 months on, it’s hard to understand why, despite a hugely encouraging start, Cork lost by eight points after a performance that lurched from limp to listless.

It was a display no one expected from a team managed by Billy Morgan but, as new team captain Eoin Sexton alluded to in Dublin yesterday, this was one occasion when the players had to carry the can.
