Cork still playing catch-up, says Murray

Cork manager Paudie Murray isn’t placing too much store in the team’s previous national final appearance against reigning All-Ireland champions Wexford.

They denied JJ Doyle’s side a fourth consecutive Division 1 title with a four-point win in Thurles in May only for Wexford to exact revenge in the championship a month late in Enniscorthy.

It’s that five-point defeat which Murray insists is a truer reflection of the counties’ form this season ahead of Sunday’s All-Ireland final.
