Flaherty: We must stand up and be counted

A VISIT to a builders providers on the way to Cork, says former star forward Johnny Flaherty, is Offaly’s best chance of beating Cork in this Saturday’s All-Ireland qualifier in Páirc Uí Chaoimh.

“We take great exception to the way ye blackguarded our neighbours last week!” he laughed about Cork’s 10-20 to 1-13 victory over Laois.

“I was talking to a friend of mine from Laois during the week and asked him what the hell should we do – he suggested we bring down a few sheets of plywood for the goals!”
