Don’t kick Cork players when they’re down, pleads O’Sullivan

Cork’s 2010 All-Ireland SFC-winning selector Ger O’Sullivan has called on the county to get behind the senior footballers now when they need them most. Ronan McCarthy’s team are at a low ebb following their relegation to Division 3, and a series of injuries to players in the win over Armagh on Sunday added to the pain as much as Cork don’t play again until June 1 when they face Limerick or Tipperary in a Munster semi-final.

With two wins needed from two or three games, O’Sullivan maintains Cork can still reach the Super 8s but they need support: “If you go back to last year, Meath were nearly in a similar position to Cork, avoided relegation, and you see the way they have bounced back. It is a very thin line and when you compound that with injuries it makes life difficult.
