Ben O'Connor: 'We got exactly what we wanted out of the league, only we didn't get the cup'

O’Connor had no complaints with the result as he felt Cork were “sloppy at times” and “Limerick are still a good bit ahead of us and that we have a lot of work to do”.

Everything but the cup was what Cork gleaned from this league campaign, according to manager Ben O’Connor.

Naturally disappointed to have lost the Division 1 title, he was at the same time content with what they took from the competition two weeks out from the start of the Munster championship.
