Patrick Horgan: Two weeks ago, people thought we were finished

Patrick Horgan knows full well what will be said and written about Cork following their takedown of All-Ireland champions Limerick, how John Meyler’s charges have turned a corner after a shaky start to the league. But in the same way that he paid no heed to the criticism lumped on Cork’s doorstep after back-to-back league defeats, Horgan won’t feast on the praise stemming from successive victories.

“Sure, two weeks ago, people thought we were finished, saying, ‘we will win nothing, we won’t win any games’ and all this,” began Horgan when asked if he was pleased with how Cork’s spring was taking shape.
