Let's finish the job, says Shields
The relief in the Cork dressing room may have been palpable, after a nerveless final spurt got them over the line against 14-man Dublin, but their full-back Michael Shields has quickly shifted the focus to next month's All-Ireland SFC final.
Inspired by talismanic forward Bernard Brogan, the Dubs led for 66 minutes of yesterday's semi-final before the Rebels, showing the sort of composure that comes with six successive last-four appearances, hit back with a match-winning late rally.
