Tigerish Cork tyros please JBM

Jimmy Barry-Murphy was taking the positives from yesterday’s defeat by Tipperary, pointing to his side’s lack of experience as a factor in Cork’s one-point defeat.

“The bit of inexperience counted against us in the end, we had opportunities and didn’t take them. Tipperary just about deserved it on the day.”

The Cork manager acknowledged that the goal his side had disallowed in the first half was a “major factor”.
