Marc Sheehan hails resilience and character of Cork footballers

Mattie Taylor is congratulated by Cork selector John Cleary after their victory over Offaly in the Allianz Football League Division 2 tie at O'Connor Park in Tullamore. 

Cork chairman Marc Sheehan hailed the character of the senior footballers in securing their Division 2 status and a spot in the last 16 of the Sam Maguire Cup.

Having stared down the barrel of relegation and possible Tailteann Cup football this summer, their recovery these past two weekends was something to acknowledge.
