Cork’s Division 2 status is secure but manager John Cleary feels the team will need something out of the final round game against Armagh to all but ensure entry into the Sam Maguire Cup.

Saturday’s third straight win for Cork pushed them up to fourth spot, which should be enough to make the top 16. Winning next Saturday’s game in Páirc Uí Chaoimh could even help to move them into third.
