“They started very well. They just showed what they can do but there’s no point in doing it for half an hour you have to go do it for an hour. That’s our job now to get them up to that level”.
The Kilkenny manager admitted that his team’s errors played a significant role in their defeat, acknowledging the quality of their opponents.
“We made a lot of mistakes and as I said a team like Cork are going to punish you and that’s what they did. Cork are All-Ireland Champions for a reason”.
