David Power has said his players always believed they could beat Cork and pointed to this “inner belief” as a key factor in the county’s first Munster football title since 1935.

“There was an inner belief. That was the big thing over the last two weeks, we always believed we could beat Cork and I didn't have to say that, the players knew it because they were after beating Cork at minor and U21, and back in 2016 they beat Cork [at senior] as well. There was always that core belief there.
