Counihan: Players must deliver at inter-county level

There was a time when a good performance in a club game could see a player play himself onto a county team.

Those days are long gone in the view of Cork football boss Conor Counihan, however, as the gap between grassroots and top flight continues to grow.

Counihan’s side face Clare in a Munster SFC semi-final in Ennis on Sunday (3.30pm), and in his view, any players looking to make a case for themselves must do so in-house.
