Canty won’t knock backdoor

GRAHAM CANTY wants to meet the innovator who came up with the Championship backdoor system.

“Whoever thought up the idea deserves a medal,” said the Cork centre-back as he and his teammates prepare to kick-start their campaign with a win over Clare tomorrow.

“Under the old system seven months of slogging on the training field would meant nothing after our defeat by Kerry, but we are getting a second chance and intend to take it.
