Steven O’Brien ‘trusts’ unsung Nemo Rangers heroes
O’Brien lost Cork defender Alan Cronin to a hamstring injury in yesterday’s Munster Club SFC semi-final win over Killarney Legion, making him a doubt for the provincial final in two weeks. But O’Brien insisted that injury absentees will not affect his battle-hardened squad at this stage, insisting: “They’re made of strong stuff.” He explained: “I don’t know are we getting better, but this time of the year it’s all about results. Any battle we’ve been involved in this season, we’ve come out the right side of them.
“We have two or three more injuries out of today, but we are dealing with this all year. “Every time a big player is out and a less well-known player comes in, it doesn’t make a difference to them. They’ve been knocked all year, and they’re giving the answers every time. We have full trust in them, they have trained with us all year, they know what’s expected.”
