Cork can answer critics, insists Dave Barry

Former Cork footballer Dave Barry has challenged Brian Cuthbert’s side to make their critics eat their words after the torrent of negativity that has followed Sunday’s defeat to Dublin.

On RTÉ’s League Sunday, Joe Brolly claimed their season was over following the 11-point Division 1 final reverse, stating they were “dead now for the rest of the championship”.

Barry maintains the league was a success for Cork coming from where they were last July, when Kerry disposed of them with ease. He hopes they can now make Brolly eat his words, like Eamonn Fitzmaurice’s side last season.
