Rebels with a caution

Cork hurling selector Seanie McGrath says the Leesiders are “taking absolutely nothing for granted” in tonight’s clash with Offaly in the All-Ireland SHC qualifiers at Páirc Uí Chaoimh.

Cork’s impressive display in a narrow defeat at the hands of Tipperary in the Munster semi-final, and a home draw against this evening’s opponents, means the men in red are hot favourites but McGrath doesn’t agree.

“We’ve been hearing that kind of talk since the draw was made, that we’ll win handy, but that’s not the view we have within the camp,” he said.
