Maguire: It’s not physical, Cork need to get mentally tougher

The Cork footballers need to get “tough upstairs”, according to captain Ian Maguire, who believes the team too easily collapsed in recent years when hitting a sticky patch during games.

Cork enter tomorrow’s Munster SFC final having won three of their last four competitive outings, their best run of form in two years, but preceding this upturn in results was a run of six games where they failed to secure a single victory, losing to Kerry, Tyrone, Kildare, Clare, and Meath, and drawing with Fermanagh.
