Cork football manager Ronan McCarthy has called for a measured assessment to where his team is at.

As the new-look Rebels prepare to face Kerry in this year's Munster SFC final on Saturday, McCarthy says people shouldn't be getting carried away by their results, be they positive or negative:   

"What you find now, in terms of analysis and coverage of games, is huge highs and huge lows," he notes in The Irish Examiner. "After the win over Tipperary, suddenly, you are now hearing that people are very positive about it and so on. Actually, let's keep things steady here.

"I can honestly say that in our first six months, we have not had a bad training session since we started. They are working very hard and trying to apply the message we are giving them. We want them to go out and express themselves, take the game to the opposition.

"They haven't always done it, but we kept things steady when we didn't. The league match against Cavan where the performance was diabolical, we didn't go crazy after it. We just kept working."
