Mike Quirke column: Cork provide raw materials but finished product doesn’t work

It has become increasingly difficult to figure out exactly what is going on in Cork GAA, writes Mike Quirke

I don’t profess to know any of the inner workings of their board or management structure, but what I do know, like most of the outsiders looking in, is that their county is too big, and they have too many clubs to choose from for the senior footballers to be floundering their way through Division Two of the Allianz League.

They are a proper dual county no doubt, but a county where their flagship senior football team isn’t close to where it should be.
