Ronan McCarthy acknowledged that Cork have put themselves in a strong position for promotion from Division 2 of the Allianz League after making it three wins from three against Down yesterday.
“You say to yourself that if you took four or five from six, you’d be doing well, but to take six from six is great. And it has been done, apart from the first half against Offaly, where we have been comfortable in the games," the Cork boss told the Irish Examiner.
“We felt if we could win today, it would really put us in pole position for the remainder of the league. Having bigged up the game beforehand, I am not going to sit here afterwards and say it is not important.
"A good professional perfomance from us, controlled performance, particularly in the first half where Down put 15 men behind the ball inside the '65. We were good and controlled and patient, we waited for our openings and we were worth our 0-8 to 0-2 half-time advantage."
