John Meyler: ‘All we’ve done is focus on ourselves’

Cork take on Waterford this Sunday in the last of their Munster SHC round-robin games, having had a break last week, but Rebel manager John Meyler admits he “missed the buzz” of a game, having been in action for the previous three weeks in a row.

Meyler went to check out Kilkenny-Wexford in the Leinster championship last weekend and, based on Wexford’s performance in the first three quarters of that game, he wondered if Cork would have been better off playing rather than having a break.

“We’ve had three tough games in a row, Clare, Limerick and Tipperary, but going back to last Saturday evening in Kilkenny, I was there to watch the match and I missed the buzz of the game, to be honest. You get used to it.
