Stack: This was the hardest one

Bríd Stack has admitted that more questions were asked of champions Cork this season than in any of their previous seven All-Ireland victories.

Cork captured an eighth TG4 senior crown at Croke Park last Sunday to complete a remarkable turnaround for the Leesiders. In the Munster championship, Cork were beaten twice by Kerry as the Kingdom dashed dreams of a tenth successive Munster title.

But Cork picked themselves up and regrouped through the back door to win the Brendan Martin Cup yet again.
