Cuthbert ready for the ‘ultimate test’

Brian Cuthbert doesn’t need to be reminded of the enormity of the task facing Cork after Saturday’s defeat

With seven days to prepare for a qualifier against Kildare, they hope to become only the fourth provincial finalists to recover in such a short space of time and secure victory.

Dublin in 2001, Down in 2012 and Donegal the following year managed to bounce back but 13 other teams have tried and failed, including Cork back in 2001.
