Stephen McDonnell taking lessons from early Kerry flurry

Cork hurling captain Stephen McDonnell is placing the emphasis on performance as the Rebels gear up for the start of the Allianz Hurling League Division 1A. 

On Sunday, Kieran Kingston’s side began their Co-op Stores Munster SHL campaign with a 13-point win over Kerry in Mallow, 1-28 to 0-18, having fallen behind early in the second half. And McDonnell was glad to have set a marker.

“It’s about gearing up for the league, but the key thing is the performance,” he said.
