Alan Cadogan ready for ‘different’ test against Waterford

Alan Cadogan isn’t long playing the ‘nobody gave us a chance’ card when talking about Cork’s win over Tipperary. The difference is that, in Cadogan’s words, “you couldn’t blame them”.

The Douglas clubman says beating Tipperary “was a huge confidence booster for us as a group of players, and from the point of view of the Cork public as well. Not many people gave us a chance going into it but you couldn’t blame them either, really.

“Going in against Tipperary, though, the work was done. It was a great team performance, but once that final whistle went we had to put the game to bed. It was great, we enjoyed the win, but now we’re looking forward to Waterford on Sunday.
