Consistency still the target for Cork footballers

The condensed nature of the Allianz FL means hopes and ambitions can change very quickly. 

A week ago, Cork’s Division 2 clash with Fermanagh was almost being billed as a relegation four-pointer, but a win for the Rebels in Páirc Uí Rinn, coupled with Kildare’s loss at Derry, means things have tightened once more.

Behind Galway and Kildare, Cork are in a three-way tie for third along with Derry and Clare, who provide the opposition for Peadar Healy’s side in Cusack Park in Ennis tomorrow. Cork selector Eoin O’Neill saw positives in last week’s win, but accepts there are areas to be improved on.
