Ronan McCarthy certain Cork will pose qualifier handful

Ronan McCarthy is confident his Cork team will prove more than a “handful” for whoever they draw in round four of the qualifiers.

Cork have not reached the last eight of the championship since 2014, falling at the fourth-round hurdle each summer since. But irrespective of who Cork are pitted against on this occasion, McCarthy is adamant that his team are well capable of progressing to the Super 8s.
