Hayes keen on coach’s new ideas

Cork forward John Hayes says the Rebels are keen to experience a competitive outing next weekend to put some of new manager Brian Cuthbert’s ideas into practice.

Two facile wins over LIT (3-22 to 0-7) and UL (6-16 to 0-7) haven’t tested the Leesiders, but this weekend’s McGrath Cup final against Kerry should be a different affair.

“Brian has great ideas about how he wants us to play, about playing good football,” said Hayes.
