Leahy hails win but warns ‘we’ve nothing won yet’

IT WAS no surprise to find that the Cork management team was refusing to get carried away by yesterday’s dramatic victory.

The manner of the win was enough to satisfy the cravings of any adrenalin junkie but with no All-Ireland to show for four consecutive semi-final appearances, manager Tony Leahy and his selectors showed little inclination to break open the bubbly.

“Thanks be to God we’re there but we have nothing won yet,” said selector John Cleary. “We were in the final last year and there is no point is just making a final. You’ve got to win it. There was no cup or medals handed out today and Cork badly needs this All-Ireland.
