Kevin McManamon is aiming to help Dublin to what would be a rare victory in Cork this weekend.

The Dubs have failed to score a win away to the Rebels since 1990, so victory in Sunday's league opener at Pairc Ui Rinn would be welcome:

"It hasn't been mentioned but we try to win every game," the St Judes clubman says in The Irish Examiner. "Maybe something like that will fire you up a small bit but it hasn't been said in our dressing room. I don't think that's the style of our management team.

"Look, we want to win every game. Some managers use those kind of things to get a bit of a gee-up, we try to be more self-motivated in terms of getting systems and tactics right. Beating Cork in Cork, it adds that bit of feistiness to it. It would be nice to break that hoodoo.

"I don't know what people would do other than go for it, try and win every game. It baffles me when people think teams don't. Teams don't throw games, they go and put out their best team on the field and hopefully we'll have a good, strong team out next week and push on from there."
