Ronan McCarthy pays tribute to Cork players' 'real honour and spirit', despite Kerry loss

Ronan McCarthy has likened the honour and spirit shown by Cork in going down to Kerry yesterday to that which Kerry themselves demonstrated in losing to Dublin in the epic 2016 All-Ireland semi-final.
As Cork dust themselves off for a fourth round qualifier on Saturday week against one of Armagh, Clare, Kildare, Laois, Mayo, Offaly, Sligo, Tyrone or Westmeath to join Roscommon and likely Dublin in Group 2 of the Super 8s, McCarthy took plenty of heart from the performance against Kerry, unlike last year’s capitulation.
