Jamie Wall believes the challenge for new Cork football manager Keith Ricken is not to win All-Irelands but to make the Rebels relevant again.

Crucially, Wall, an All-Ireland U21 football finalist in 2013 before his career was cut short through injury, believes they’ve got the right man for the job.
