The future’s still bright for Cork, says Tom Kenny

The lack of experience on the Cork bench is “nobody’s fault”, according to Tom Kenny, who believes an All-Ireland U21 title in the coming weeks would set up Cork perfectly for a crack at senior glory in 2019.

Cork’s reinforcements contributed just one point at the end of Sunday’s extra-time All-Ireland semi-final classic, whereas four of Limerick’s reserves — Shane Dowling, Barry Nash, Pat Ryan and David Reidy — notched 2-6. Another replacement, Peter Casey, may not have written his name onto the Treaty scoresheet, but did plenty elsewhere to merit mention.
