Cleary keen to atone for league final loss
Having beaten the Ulster champions by two points in last year’s All-Ireland final, the Rebels saw the tables turned as Monaghan triumphed in this year’s national league decider. Cork’s last championship outing was an 8-27 to 0-2 win over Donegal in the quarter-final but Nollaig Cleary, who scored 3-3 in that game, knows this will be a much sterner test.
“We’d take a win by a point at this stage,” she admitted. “I suppose it’s not the most ideal way to prepare for such a big match, but that’s the way the draw went and we can only play what’s in front of us.
