JBM flags up Cork’s mental preparations

Cork boss Jimmy Barry-Murphy has won a phenomenal 24 Munster championship medals.

He won 10 in senior inter-county hurling with Cork (sharing that record with Tipperary’s John Doyle); two in senior inter-county football; two more at U21 hurling; one in U21 football; two each at minor hurling and football; three in club hurling and two in club football with St Finbarr’s.

No-one better, then, to prepare the many Munster final debutants in his Cork team to face Limerick at the Gaelic Grounds on Sunday, to inform them of what awaits them.
