Horan expects to meet motivated Rebels

Mayo manager James Horan believes Cork are the most dangerous side his team could have asked to meet in this weekend’s All-Ireland quarter-final.

The Rebels’ disappointing performance in the Munster final against Kerry caused many to question their ability but Horan conceded they now pose a massive threat to his side carrying a ‘wounded animal’ tag with them, particularly given the recent history between the counties.

“Yeah, I am sure they have a lot of stuff and if they are wounded and they are looking for motivation it will be easy to find based on the history that they have had,” he said.
