Cleary expecting tough battle

CORK Under 21 boss John Cleary is expecting an all out assault on his team by Kerry in next Saturday's Munster Under 21 quarter-final clash in Austin Stack Park. The Kingdom are still smarting from the beating imposed on them at the same round of the competition by Cleary's charges. The Cork boss, however, feels that what happened last year won't affect what happens at the weekend in Tralee.

THERE is no denying that the Cork hurlers are in much better shape than was the case this time 12 months ago.
