Judge Kieran Kingston’s Cork on championship form, says John Meyler

Former Cork selector John Meyler says Kieran Kingston’s side should be judged after their remaining group games against Kilkenny and Tipperary.

Meyler believes there are strong mitigating factors behind Cork’s three straight defeats in Division 1A of the Allianz League. Although a relegation play-off looms, he believes the league ranks low in the list of priorities.

“They’ve decided to focus on the Championship and the game against Tipperary in May and as a result haven’t been doing much hurling training,” he says.
