Fitzmaurice: Cork are the ‘most maligned’ team in the country

Eamonn Fitzmaurice has distanced himself from Tomás Ó Sé’s criticism of Cork but admitted they are the most maligned team across Gaelic football and hurling.

Not surprisingly, the Kerry manager has disassociated himself from his former team-mate’s claims that Cork lack leaders both on the field and sideline. Ó Sé also said they weren’t trustworthy and would be a different team under Fitzmaurice.

Fitzmaurice believes Ó Sé’s words have fuelled Cork’s fire ahead of Sunday week’s Munster final considering their chances of upsetting the reigning Munster and All-Ireland champions in Killarney had already been roundly dismissed.
