Cork boss Cuthbert fears ‘two-tier’ championship

Cork football manager Brian Cuthbert is confident there will be no "knee-jerk reaction" to the County SFC structure despite the lopsided first-round results.

Reigning champions Castlehaven bagged six goals in the 20-point mauling of St Vincent’s, Dohenys managed only one point in their 22-point annihilation at the hands of Nemo Rangers, while Carbery Rangers had 29 points to spare in the 5-17 to 0-3 crushing of Aghada.

Cuthbert accepts a handful of teams have pulled worryingly clear of the chasing group, but envisages no change to the current structure.
