Settle. That is Cork’s ambition. The tendency to lurch from one extreme to the other was apparent in this league campaign as they started with three successive defeats and finished unbeaten in four. A last-round draw ultimately had John Cleary satisfied.

“Overall, we would have to be pleased,” he said after their 2-16 to 2-16 game against Armagh on Saturday night. “An awful lot of lessons again. When you are playing the top teams, you really learn every day you go out. Where Armagh have got to, that is where we are aiming to get to. It is not easy.
