A year on, Cork players need no reminder of no-show against Clare

'The thing that disappointed us 12 months ago, as well as the result, was the performance.'

There was no need for any reminding. No need to reference it during any end-of-training huddle. No need to pull down a projector screen and press play on old footage.

The Cork footballers are on the road to Ennis this weekend. It has been 13-and-a-half months since their last visit. It was not a successful visit. They arrived empty-handed for a Munster quarter-final and left empty-handed.
