A few serious positives for Cork tonight from layers who didn’t start championship last year - Flahive was really good until he got injured ( hopefully nothing serious ), Clancy showed some very good foot passing and controlled possession at 6, Cashman very assured on the ball and has put on some bulk and Walsh also showed some very good foot passing from midfield. To break quickly from defence we will need some good kickers who can move the ball quickly and accurately and I thought we saw some good kicking tonight which we didn’t see much of previously when the game plan was mostly based on carrying. Buckley from Newcestown came on but it was a shame we couldn’t see him get some ball closer to goal as he looks like a lad who could cause damage. Other positives were the display of Taylor who continuously broke the tackle and O Callaghan is a serious weapon the way he can get on the end of moves and power through on goal - he did it a few times last summer and he did it twice tonight and was only on the field for 20 mins - he is hard to stop when running in a straight line !
