McCarthy: we just can’t do it easy

IN THE aftermath of another heart-stopping victory, Cork boss Gerald McCarthy was sipping a cold drink, putting the swirl of events into some kind of order.

Another sunny evening in Thurles. Another breathless sprint to the final whistle.

“The players just can’t do it easy,” the Corkman said. “We didn’t play in the first-half, quite obviously. We were a little worried about how the lads would react to the hard game we had last Saturday, they had so little time to recover. And we didn’t hit the ground running.
