Christopher Joyce: Cork building for a long summer

Christopher Joyce is paying little heed to league results. There are far more important matters at play, insists the Cork hurler.

For last Sunday’s Division 1A fixture away to Clare, Joyce was part of a defence of which four members did not see a single minute of championship game-time last summer.

Eoin Cadogan has returned after three seasons with the footballers, Sean O’Donoghue and Tim O’Mahony made their first league appearances last month, while Sunday’s defeat to the Banner represented Darren Browne’s first competitive start in a Cork shirt.
