No-nonsense Murphy wary of Dubs threat

BRIAN MURPHY is mulling over the prospect of Dublin in the qualifiers. Direct as ever, the Cork corner-back side-steps the platitudes and lays it on the line.

“Last year in the qualifiers Dublin put it up to us, no doubt about that. Now, maybe the occasion got to them a little towards the end, but I’d expect them to be better this year.

“Remember, they gave us enough of it in the league earlier in the year as well - we were nine points down at one stage against them in Parnell Park. Tom Kenny went through for the vital score, we ended up getting a goal from that attack and if we hadn’t managed it we’d have been in big trouble.
