Jack O'Connor: 'I don’t think the scoreline does justice to the challenge that Cork put up'

Kerry recorded a 12 point win against their great rivals but the winning manager saw plenty of room for improvement in his side's display.

Jack O'Connor admitted his Kerry team were rusty before eventually seeing off Cork with a run of eight unanswered second-half points in Saturday night's Munster SFC semi-final at Páirc Uí Rinn.

Not having played since their Division 1 final win over Mayo at the start of last month, the Kerry manager was concerned that lack of match fitness would affect them against a Cork team out to prove a point.
