We're onto a winner with this boss

THERE are many ways to win - and lose - a hurling All-Ireland but this year, there may be only one approach that will work for Cork.

And thank God, new manager Ben O'Connor, pictured, seems to be following it.

It's an attitude rather than a philosophy and it taps deep into what it means to be from the Rebel county - the knowledge that we're on our own, we've always been on our own and we'll never get nattin' from no-wan and especially any of them crowd up in Dublin, namely, the GAA, RTE, the National Meeja and those who seek to impose their rule on us.

Put it another way once again we have been wronged and once again we are out for revenge.
