Ronan McCarthy rues Cork's ‘poor day at the office’

Cork manager, Ronan McCarthy, was ruling out complacency as a cause of Cork’s performance against Louth yesterday, which McCarthy himself described as “disjointed”.

“All I can say is that we prepared for this game the same way we prepared for the other games, so it wasn’t coming from us, if it was there.

“It’s probably unfair to the players. They prepared properly — it was a poor performance, but a lot of guys have put down a lot of mileage on the pitch, over the last two or three weeks. Maybe that told a bit, too.
