Brilliant Cork just left us for dead, says Conran

WEXFORD manager John Conran shrugged his shoulders and said: “Cork left us for dead.”

He added: “If Cork repeat this performance in the All-Ireland final, then Kilkenny will have it all to do. This is a very good side. They played absolutely brilliant hurling. Their skill levels were something else altogether”, said the manager, who will consider his future in the weeks ahead.

“We never performed on the day - we were never allowed to do so. The speed and momentum of Cork’s play was mind-boggling. They were really up for it.
