Sherlock sets Munster target for Cork

Former Cork star Wayne Sherlock believes that winning the Munster championship in 2014 would represent an improvement on this year’s showing for the county.

Cork were moments away from claiming this year’s All-Ireland when they led in injury-time in the drawn final against Clare, but they were never ahead in the replay.

The 2006 provincial title was the last major trophy won by Cork, and Sherlock – an All-Ireland winner in 1999, 2004 and ’05 – feels that winning silverware would provide another confidence boost to the largely young current squad.
