John Cleary has urged Cork people to turn up in their numbers to back their top of the table Division 2 clash against Meath in Páirc Uí Rinn next Sunday. Cleary spoke, after Sunday's defeat of Offaly, of how the support for their dramatic opening win over Cavan in SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh last month made a difference and he believes fans could make a difference again. “Matches in Páirc Uí Rinn, I think if there's a crowd there, there'll be a very good atmosphere. I'm sure Meath have a very good travelling crowd as well, so we can't be overdone by that, hopefully. “I would hope that the Cork public now would get behind because, look, this could come down to small, small margins.
