Glad of the win. Almost more glad to have the game out of the way. “There was a lot of stuff going on all week that wasn't in our control, they were talking about 'how are they going to play', 'who are they going to pick', or 'what's going to happen here'. They're good hurlers, they know what they are at, so just let them in and let them at it. Just happy to have it out of the way, if I'm being honest,” remarked the Cork manager.
