'We can compete with anyone in the country' says Cork boss as they make exit
Cork boss John Cleary says that his side have proven that they can compete with the best in 2025. While Cork have little to show for from the season in terms of tangible success having failed to win promotion from Division Two or make a serious dent in Munster, while they only just got out of their group to make the last 12, Cleary believes there is something to build on from their showings against Kerry and Dublin. 'For the bigger matches, we don't seem to have a problem then,' he said. 'Any time we play Kerry, even though we were beaten, well beaten in the round robin, I thought we played very well for a lot of it and the Dublin match again, there wasn't a lot of getting up for the lads. 'I knew that they were in the right place coming in here today. That's why we'd be very disappointed to come so close and everyone would be looking back at this incident and that incident when you're beaten by one score. 'But look, that's the nature of the Championship this year and I suppose maybe the one pleasing thing is that we know at our best that we can compete with anyone in the country.' Assessing the season as a whole, Cleary said: 'The League was a bit mixed, but we finished very well, and look, if we had won one more victory, we probably would have got promoted. 'The Championship then, the Kerry match, we had our chance in extra-time. The round robin was a bit up and down. 'The Meath game, we would have been disappointed, Kerry were a bit better than us on the day of the second game, but I thought we battled very well the last two weeks, particularly the Roscommon game to eke out a victory, and look, on another day, we could have got over the line today, so look, there was a lot of positives as well out of the year.' As for his own future, having served a part-season as interim manager in 2022 followed by three years in the hotseat, he said: 'I won't say anything at the moment, my term is up now, I've been four years in it and, as anyone will know, it's tough going. 'But look, we'll see during the week, or we'll talk to the relevant parties or whatever but at this stage now my term is up, so we'll see what the future holds going forward.'

Farrell acknowledges hurlers' epic win after 'fits and starts' Cork display
Dublin 1-19 Cork 1-16 After the first game at Croke Park on Saturday, anything felt possible. Of course, a win for Cork, while huge, wouldn't have been anything nearly as seismic as what had gone before, given that Dublin have already lost two games in this Championship and Cork have shown an ability to raise their game against stronger opposition. And they did so again but ultimately didn't threaten Dublin enough in the last 10 minutes or so when the game was up for grabs. Indeed, Dublin manager Dessie Farrell revealed afterwards that Con O'Callaghan was an option off the bench but, in the end, one they didn't feel they needed to use. 'It's not to say that we knew this wouldn't be a tight affair, but we were just going to hope that we had enough,' Farrell explained. 'There were conversations with the coaches with a couple of minutes to go. We just decided to hold on. If it was a little bit tighter, I think you would have seen him come on for sure, yeah.' Suffice to say he'll be needed if Dublin are to challenge seriously for an All-Ireland in the coming weeks, or even extend their season beyond next weekend. After going four points in front in as many minutes, they only scored four more times for the remainder of the half as the game was played on Cork's terms, with Chris Og Jones's 11th minute goal giving them a lead that they held all the way to the break, by which time it was two points. They'll have felt it ought to have been more. Jones was denied a second goal by Stephen Cluxton in the 30th minute and though Cork converted the resulting 45 and pushed four points clear, Seán Bugler halved the deficit with a crucial two-pointer on the stroke of half-time to make it 1-8 to 0-9. Dublin started the second half well, hitting Cork for 1-3 with just a point in reply in the first 10 minutes as Brian Howard took the goal brilliantly, but the visitors hit four unanswered to go ahead again and it was tit-for-tat until the last 10 minutes, when the scores dried up for Cork as they struggled for possession. 'Today we didn't miss an awful lot,' said Cork boss John Cleary. 'Other days I've been sitting here and we've missed goals and points and everything all over the place. 'I think we were very efficient, I think probably our problem was to try and get enough ball in hands, and we weren't able to do enough of that. 'I think Dublin won 90% of their own kick-outs maybe. I think we won maybe something over 50% of ours, and I think with the ball that we were getting, we were very efficient, and any time we did go up the field, we did bore holes in them at times, but unfortunately just fell short in the end.' Farrell felt that his side had played in 'fits and starts', which was a reasonable observation. He said: 'We struggled to get the consistency across the whole performance. It's never going to be plain sailing, an opposition is always going to get a purple patch, and it's how you can contain them in that period. 'We struggled to be clinical at times, and there were opportunities maybe to put a little bit of distance between ourselves and Cork at different stages. We didn't do that, we didn't take those opportunities, so it was always going to be a dogfight to the very end.' Before becoming Dublin manager, Farrell had a role with the county hurlers' backroom team under Mattie Kenny and, of course, he is familiar with the current manager Niall Ó Ceallacháin, who is a Na Fianna clubmate. It's a rare day that the Dublin footballers play second fiddle to their hurling counterparts. 'I spoke to Niall [when he got the job] but Niall doesn't need to be told anything,' said Farrell. 'He's doing a phenomenal job and did so with Na Fianna as well. 'It was a great appointment by the Dublin county board and there was a lot of good candidates in the mix. True to Niall's form, he hasn't let anybody down. 'He's done a brilliant job and he continues to do so. We wish him the best of luck from here on out.' DUBLIN: Stephen CLUXTON 8; Eoin MURCHAN 7, Seán MacMAHON 6, Davy BYRNE 6; Brian HOWARD (1-0) 7, John SMALL (0-1) 8, Lee GANNON (0-1) 7; Peader Ó COFAIGH-BYRNE 8, Ciarán KILKENNY (0-1) 6; Killian McGINNIS 7, Seán BUGLER (0-5, 1tp) 8, Niall SCULLY (0-1) 6; Paddy SMALL (0-4) 8, Lorcan O'DELL 5, Cormac COSTELLO (0-5, 0-2f) 7. Subs: Cian Murphy for O'Dell (45), Luke Breathnach (0-1) for McGinnis (57), Tom Lahiff for Gannon (59), Nathan Doran for Scully (68). CORK: Micheál Aodh MARTIN (0-1 '45') 7; Neil LORDAN 6, Daniel O'MAHONY 6, Maurice SHANLEY 7; Brian O'DRISCOLL 7, Seán BRADY 7, Mattie TAYLOR 7; Ian MAGUIRE (0-1) 7, Colm O'CALLAGHAN (0-2) 7; Paul WALSH 5, Seán WALSH (0-1) 7, Seán McDONNELL 6; Mark CRONIN (0-4, 0-2f) 7, Bran HURLEY (0-2) 7, Chris Óg JONES (1-4) 8. Subs: Eoghan McSweeney for Paul Walsh (48), Conor Cahalane for McDonnell (49-58, temp), Cathail O'Mahony (0-1) for Hurley (55), Seán Powter for Taylor (58), Luke Fahy for Lordan (63). REFEREE: Seán Hurson (Tyrone). QUOTE ME ON THAT 'We took the decision not to bring him on there. We sort of run the gauntlet on it a little bit for the last 10 minutes or so.' Dublin manager Dessie Farrell on Con O'Callaghan. STAR MAN - Chris Óg Jones (Cork) May have finished on the losing side but Jones was the best forward on view with 1-4 from play and gave Seán MacMahon a difficult evening. Will rue his other first half goal chance, however. AN OTHER - Peadar Ó Cofaigh-Byrne (Dublin) Perhaps didn't scale the heights of Newry seven days earlier, but it was still a very efficient performance from Ó Cofaigh-Byrne in the engine room, which is becoming less of a problem area for Dublin. UP NEXT DUBLIN: All-Ireland quarter-final, June 28/29. CORK: Season ends.

Dessie Farrell will be thrilled with how Dublin beat Cork – but will need Con O'Callaghan to mount All-Ireland challenge
THERE were pros and cons for Dublin as they outlasted Cork last night at Croke Park. But the Con they will need in order to mount an All-Ireland title challenge was sitting in the stand. 2 Con O'Callaghan of Dublin reacts during the GAA Football All-Ireland Senior Championship preliminary quarter-final against Cork Credit: Ramsey Cardy/Sportsfile 2 Graham Geraghty believes Dublin will need Con O'Callaghan to win the All-Ireland Credit: Ben McShane/Sportsfile Dubs boss However, the uncertainty surrounding Con O'Callaghan's availability for next weekend's quarter-final is a huge concern. Having missed the defeat to Armagh, normal service seemed to resume for the His shock absence gave Read More on GAA And just like the Dublin hurlers did in the curtain raiser, John Cleary's men very nearly pulled off the upset. Cork are a team I have seen plenty of this year. They are capable of blowing hot and cold. But you have to hand it to them for the way they took the game to Dublin. Farrell's team were under massive pressure and Brian Howard's goal was a big turning point because the Dubs had played second fiddle to Cork for long periods . Dublin are not the force they once were — that much is clear. With O'Callaghan in the team, they remain contenders nonetheless. Most read in GAA Football Without him, their attacking threat is diminished significantly. Regardless of who they are paired with in the last eight, Dublin's chances of advancing will lessen considerably if the three-time All-Star is not fit to play a part. 'Just in time for Father's Day' - Dublin GAA legends welcome the birth of precious baby daughter In Killarney, fire as The problem for Kerry as their attention turns to Seán O'Shea's return was a boost. Jack O'Connor will also be delighted that Paudie Clifford was fit enough for a cameo off the bench. But his younger brother will need more help from his supporting cast if Kerry are to keep Sam Maguire in their sights. A relatively comprehensive win for the Kingdom was the result we all expected. Their start was impressive and the writing seemed to be on the wall for Cavan when the four-point deficit they faced early on was compounded by the black-carding of Niall Carolan. To the Breffni's credit, they made a game of it in the second half after Kerry looked set to pull away. But Raymond Galligan's team were also too reliant on Paddy Lynch, who was their only starting forward to score. This was a game in which Kerry were on a hiding to nothing, so they will be pleased to have it out of the way. Next weekend is when we will find out what they are truly made of.
