Michael Ryan reflects on Cork’s season which ended in narrowly missing out on progression to the All-Ireland series.

Michael Ryan says the next 12 months are crucial for Pat Ryan and his Cork panel.

The Rebels won a lot of admirers this season but came up short on the final day of the Munster round-robin series.

โ€œCork will be very disappointed and people say Cork made progress but, if you look at the real maths of it, Cork qualified last year and came out of Munster,” says former Waterford boss Ryan.

“This year they didnโ€™t. A little bit unlucky and they have a lot of players but, having said that Patrick Horgan is pushing on, so is Seamus Harnedy, and they have a couple of good young lads going through.

โ€œWhat I like about Cork is they seem to be much more physical now, theyโ€™re not being pushed around, theyโ€™re up for the fight.

โ€œThereโ€™s 650,000 people in Cork, now surely to God thereโ€™s always going to be 25 good hurlers there. And 25 good footballers and well, I just fail to under (how they donโ€™t do better).

โ€œI like Pat Ryan, heโ€™s a good guy and he has got a bit extra out of them, but thereโ€™s a big 12 months coming up for them.
