Tomás Clancy: One good performance a year doesn’t meet Cork standards

For any management team to have a chance of success, they need their players to fully believe in what they are doing and it’s clear that Fermoy’s Tomás Clancy is fully on board with what Ronan McCarthy et al are trying to achieve, as they face into Saturday evening’s Munster final against their long-time rivals from the other side of the Paps.

For Clancy, it’s all about trying to get the right formula to ensure consistency of performance.

“We’ve really been looking at ourselves [this year] and going out and playing to the best of our abilities. We know the talent is there. I mean, I know there have been occasions when we haven’t put in a performance, but at the end of the day the only thing we can control is ourselves and the way we play, so like, if we can get some consistency there, we think it’ll add to us and it’s something that we have been missing.
