Cork Con retain spine for bid to retain crown

Cork Constitution captain Niall Kenneally insists that his side will have to go back to square one as they aim to retain their Ulster Bank League crown in 2017/18.

Con claimed their first UBL title in seven years with a thrilling triumph over previous champions Clontarf at the Aviva Stadium last May, and also enjoyed final victories in the Munster Senior Cup, All-Ireland Cup and Cork Charity Cup during an unforgettable campaign.

Yet, because of how unpredictable the league has proven to be in recent seasons, Kenneally is aware that the Temple Hill men can’t afford to be complacent.
