Brian Lohan senses the only way is up for Cork hurling after seeing his team narrowly beaten by them in this evening’s All-Ireland SHC qualifier.

While proud of his players' fighting spirit to almost win the game at the death, the Banner manager was impressed by the manner in which Cork came again in the fourth quarter having lost their five-point lead.
