Teddy McCarthy: Are Cork players hiding behind the county board?

Cork icon Teddy McCarthy has questioned the attitude of the Rebel hurlers ahead of tonight’s must-win qualifier game against Dublin, which he describes as “bigger than an All-Ireland” for the county.

“This is the biggest game for Cork for years,” said McCarthy. “After the bad week we’ve had with the minors and U21s. It could be bigger than a Munster or All-Ireland final, because a win is so badly needed.

“And the buck stops with the players. They’re the ones with the jerseys. If you go back a few years, the genuine supporter was blaming the county board for everything, but I know the Cork players don’t lack for anything. They’re supplied with everything they need.
