Jamie Wall: Cork players aren’t mushrooms, but diamonds who need to be polished

The success of the Cork minor football team this year is proof of the benefits of underage coaches migrating upwards with their teams, according to Jamie Wall.

Bobbie O’Dwyer’s side were able to lean on the experience built up over three years together as a group, and Wall, who led the Cork U16 hurling side to an All-Ireland tournament victory earlier this month, feels that such foundations are of immeasurable value.
