Promotion to Division 1 of the Allianz Football League must be Cork’s top priority in 2022, former Cork forward Daniel Goulding has said.

The county has not featured in the League’s top tier since relegation from Division 1 in 2016, but 2010 All-Ireland winner Goulding is adamant that regular exposure to the game’s leading forces is the only way Cork will close the gap between themselves and those off in the distance ahead of them.
