Kerrigan says Cork ready for five-game in Division Two battle

Cork captain Paul Kerrigan admits their aim must be to win their remaining five games after picking up just one point from their opening two matches in Division Two of the Allianz League.

Having been on the road for the first two fixtures, three of the remaining matches come in Páirc Uí Rinn, starting with Fermanagh on Sunday week. After Galway deprived them of a win in Salthill nine days ago, Kerrigan was dejected by the team’s performance against Kildare in Newbridge on Sunday but maintains their promotion hopes are far from dead.

“You probably couldn’t have had a harder start to the league. We’d have expected ourselves to win both games. It’s not out of the realms of possibility to get promoted either so we’re going to have win in a lot of our games and maybe go five for five.
