Selector defends Cork tactics in Munster final loss

CORK hurling selector Patsy Morrissey has launched a vehement defence of the tactical decisions made during the Rebels’ Munster final defeat to Waterford.

In a rare insight into championship decision-making in today's Arena magazine, with the Irish Examiner, Morrissey addresses a number of issues which left Cork fans fuming after their Thurles loss to Justin McCarthy's side.

Morrissey insisted: "It will seem like I'm trying to exonerate the selectors, but, believe me, I don't feel any need to do that. But there is no doubt that Cork hurling fans are upset."
