No relaxing for Rebels

Defeats to Dublin and Kildare in their opening two games put a dent in Cork’s hopes of winning what would be a fourth successive Division 1 title, and a fifth in all after the Division 2 win of 2008.
Ciarán Sheehan’s late goal against Down last week was crucial in claiming a first win, but, ahead of tomorrow’s game away to Tyrone, O’Neill denies Cork are doing the bare minimum to keep ticking over. “If we start picking and choosing what games you’re going to try and win, you could find yourself in relegation trouble very quickly,” he said.
