Cork blow as Shields sidelined for four weeks

Cork football captain Michael Shields will be out for at least four weeks with a knee strain sustained in Sunday’s eight-point win over Westmeath in the NFL.

“The ball came across the square and I caught it but I felt a pop and it was at me after that,” Shields explained.

Cork opened their league campaign with an impressive performance, and Shields says the second half display shows what Cork are capable of.
