Cork-Gaa,Waterford-Gaa

Cork hurling manager Pat Ryan warns that an opening loss to Waterford could derail their championship ambitions

Cork looking for a fast start to tough Munster campaign“Our job is to try win an All-Ireland, that’s why we took the job on. Getting out of Munster is the first step in that.”

“We didn’t get out of Munster last year and that’s key to our year, everything takes off after that. We know how competitive Munster is, if you come out of Munster you should be having aspirations of getting to an All-Ireland final at that stage. The Rebels won their opening match of the 2023 Munster SHC, beating Waterford at Páirc Uí Chaoimh, and history shows teams that lose their first matches tend to struggle in the race for a top-three finish.

“Your home games are key, that’s what kept us out of qualifying last year. We beat Waterford and we didn’t play as well as we wanted against Tipperary. We probably should’ve won the game coming down the stretch; you have to win your home games.
