Cork a mid-table Division 2 side? Sounds about right, says Graham Canty

All-Ireland-winning captain Graham Canty reckons Cork can no longer be considered a top-10 football county — and has warned that breaking back into the championship elite is a far tougher proposition than it was in his heyday.

Canty, one of the authors of the Cork 2024 report seeking to revive Cork’s football fortunes, applied a stark barometer of how far Cork football has fallen when he reminded followers that the Rebels are a mid-table Division 2 side these days.
