View from top suits Counihan

After Cork defeated Kildare in their All-Ireland SFC quarter-final earlier this month, the squad and management stayed on at Croke Park to watch Donegal’s clash with Kerry, knowing they would be facing the winners.

For Cork manager Conor Counihan, his vantage point in the stand provided him with a more rounded view of the Ulster men’s set-up, which video analysis does not provide.

“I suppose just the sheer numbers and the way they set themselves up,” he said when asked of the differences in getting a fuller picture.
