Pat Mulcahy: Bright start provides some grounds for Cork optimism

Former Cork captain Pat Mulcahy believes that the county’s display in the opening 20 minutes of Sunday’s Munster SHC loss to Waterford gives a glimmer of hope for the remainder of the championship.

Having lost by 10 points to Waterford in the Allianz HL Division 1 final five weeks previous, Cork altered their approach and led early on before two Waterford goals turned the tide.

Mulcahy feels the limited time between the two games mitigated Cork’s attempts to modify their tactics.
