Counihan: We were lucky to win league
He saw his side last April win their second successive league title after clawing back an eight-point deficit with 30 minutes to go. But asked if he felt Cork would have been better served going into the championship by losing the game, Counihan replied: “Strange as it may seem, it might have been.”
He admits the inclination of the management wasn’t to ask why Cork had found themselves so far behind.
