Kerry give ‘rusty’ Cork a sense of where they’re at

Kerry 1-13 Cork 1-9: Cork manager Peadar Healy says he has no qualms with their training facilities after Paddy Kelly revealed that the senior footballers have had to set up their own gym in Fermoy.

Having been left scrambling for a pitch to train on during the early months of last year, the team block-booked a field in Fermoy this winter. But with no available gym nearby for strength and conditioning work, the players were forced to assemble a makeshift gym in an unused warehouse in the area.

When pressed for his thoughts on Cork’s training base after yesterday’s comprehensive McGrath Cup elimination to Kerry, Healy said they’re making do with what they have.
