ENDA McEVOY: Cork – this time it must be different
And if they do, claiming they didn’t see Kilkenny coming won’t be one of them.
It was different last May bank holiday Sunday in Thurles. Maybe Cork read too much into their defeat of Kilkenny at Páirc Uí Chaoimh a few weeks earlier. Maybe they read too much into the fact that the All-Ireland champions were now missing Henry Shefflin, Richie Power and Michael Rice. Maybe they forgot that to Brian Cody, a National League final is a World Cup final.
