Stephen Rochford has Mayo braced for Cork ‘backlash’

Mayo boss Stephen Rochford says his team are ‘expecting a backlash’ from Cork in next weekend’s All-Ireland SFC Qualifier in Limerick.

The teams meet in Round 4A on Saturday (5pm, Sky Sports) with the winners guaranteed a ticket to the last eight of the All-Ireland series.

However, despite the comprehensive manner of Cork’s defeat to Kerry in the Munster final, raging hot favourites Mayo are taking nothing for granted, according to Rochford.
