Eoin O’Neill: ‘When is the last time Joe Brolly saw us play?’

It’s been another turbulent spring for Peadar Healy’s side, with the 2-11 to 0-9 defeat away to Clare – Cork’s first competitive loss to the Banner since 1997 – leading to fresh criticism from supporters, former Cork players and pundits outside the county.

The Rebels have managed just one win from their opening four games in Division 2 and while promotion to the top-flight was their target, the battle to avoid relegation is now the priority. O’Neill accepts their performance at Cusack Park simply didn’t cut it but remarked the constant knocking of players and negative commentary towards the camp isn’t helping matters.
