Disappointing result despite good performance says John Cleary

For the second year in a row, Cork have left Ardee's DEFY Pairc Mhuire empty handed following another big National Football League win for hosts Louth.

The way Ger Brennan saw this game, his Louth team didn't play particularly well yet won.

Cork, meanwhile, from John Cleary's perspective actually played pretty good, certainly better than they did against Donegal last weekend, yet lost. Go figure.
