Mark Collins hails Ronan McCarthy's positivity

Cork’s refusal to get too down on themselves after losing at home to Tipperary has put them back on track, says Mark Collins.

The Castlehaven man was fulsome in his praise of manager Ronan McCarthy for keeping the spirits high going to face Down in Newry.

“To be fair to Ronan, he was unbelievably positive all week. Any video or anything he showed us was positive. We played a lot of good football but we had a 10-minute spell where we went from three up to seven down. Ten points in 10 minutes, that wasn’t good enough, really, at this level and I think we learned from a lot of our mistakes last week.”
