Counihan: time to reflect on our season

CORK manager Conor Counihan has insisted he will not be drawn into any quick decision about his future position after the disappointment of Sunday’s All-Ireland semi-final replay to Kerry.

Twenty four hours may have passed since the halting of Cork’s football summer, yet for Counihan, the pain of defeat was still being keenly felt yesterday.

Kerry had triumphed once more in a showdown with their Munster rivals and despite Cork’s heroic second-half revival, the bald statistic of the result meant it was Kerry who will participate in the All-Ireland final against Tyrone in three weeks’ time.
