Ken O'Halloran says Cork can't be "getting carried away by a few wins in the league".

The Rebels sit proudly at the top of Division One after six rounds of games and are assured of a semi-final place with one match to spare. But their goalkeeper isn't crowing about their impressive sequence of results:

"Four of our games - Mayo, Monaghan, Dublin and Tyrone - have all gone to the last five or six minutes before being decided," he points out in The Irish Examiner.

"In the camp we'd have never doubted the spirit we have, but that's obviously encouraging to have those wins. We have a lot of young players emerging, which is also encouraging, but nobody's getting carried away by a few wins in the league.

"Some of those games we won could have gone the other way quite easily, and then we'd have to be looking at ourselves, analysing them as losses rather than patting ourselves on the back.

"We've had a couple of good wins this year but there's a lot of shadow-boxing going on at this time of year. The results are relevant to a certain extent, but the summer is a different kettle of fish. We'll have to crank it up 30 or 40% to do well in the championship."
