Steven Sherlock makes case for starting spot with crucial cameo against Mayo

The Cork star played a key role off the bench in the win in Limerick.

ON THE LINE: Tommy Conroy of Mayo shoots to score his side's first goal despite the efforts of the Cork defence at TUS Gaelic Grounds in Limerick.

Steven Sherlock wasn’t going to tell us a lie. He wasn’t going to tell us that he’s content coming in off the bench Sunday after Sunday. He wants to start. He wants to be stood inside the whitewash and not sat on a cushioned seat when the first whistle sounds.

Sherlock started six of Cork’s seven league outings. He top-scored with 0-32.
