Recovery from ‘sluggish’ start pleases Cuthbert

After two one-sided games in the last fortnight, Cork boss Brian Cuthbert was glad of a competitive outing in yesterday’s McGrath Cup final against Kerry.

Mind you, the Cork football manager wasn’t thrilled with his men’s sluggish start.

The Rebels were second-best in the first-half in Mallow and needed a significant improvement after the break to claim victory.
