Counihan sure Rebels can sort out problems

Manager Conor Counihan bemoaned Cork’s poor start for yesterday’s defeat but insisted there are plenty of positives to take away from their second-half recovery.

Revealing the camp had been hit by a sickness bug in the build-up to the game and had affected his selection plans, he admitted his team weren’t allowed to play in the first half.

“We just under-performed, didn’t get off the blocks quick enough. When you do that against Kerry, or any team, you’re going to be punished.
