Colman Corrigan: Isolated Cork footballers must now come out fighting

Cork’s footballers will rarely feel as isolated as this evening in the Gaelic Grounds, according to former defender Colman Corrigan.

The Macroom man predicts more of the Cork County Board executive will be in the newly redeveloped Páirc Uí Chaoimh for the Clare-Tipperary All-Ireland SHC quarter-final (3pm throw-in) than at the county’s SFC qualifier clash against Mayo in Limerick (5pm)

Corrigan says Peadar Healy’s side can take inspiration from that: “There isn’t one word about Cork football in Cork at the moment. The hurlers are on the crest of a wave and there’s no denying that. Nobody could be happier than the genuine Cork GAA supporter.
