Psychologically and mentally.

They can sugarcoat it all they like and say, you know, it wasn't.

But it was.

It was a massive psychological game for this card group.

You know, in getting over the line and particularly in that second half, you know, when it was 16 points all, I was coming down to Carth, Menace,

And I was saying, right, let's see what these Cork boys are made of now.

The game was in the balance, 44 minutes.

I was only when I went home and I watched the match, watched it back.

I was, you know, really impressed by what I saw.

And it's a big hurdle.

It's a big hurdle jump.

It's a big hurdle jump for this Cork group.

It's a big hurdle jump for Ben O'Connor.

They're up and running now.

I did say last week,

if they were to have gotten over the line last Sunday I think they'll take off and they'll be right in the mix and I stand over that now but I stand over my comments last week if they didn't get over the line last week lads psychologically I don't think they would have recovered they would have been going into this weekend against Limerick trying to pick themselves up off the ground and and

you know, Limerick would have been come with the bit between their teeth to try and deal Cork over.

But now, the opposite now, the Cork train is up running again.

Choo-choo!

The feel good, the feel good factor is back.
