Paudie Kissane isn't exactly panicking after Cork's opening-day draw with Armagh.

The Rebels surrendered a six-point lead at the Athletic Grounds on Sunday, losing their way somewhat in the third quarter following the 30th-minute dismissal of captain Paul Kerrigan.

But Kissane says in the Examiner that the league holders have plenty of time to get things right: "Our odds might lengthen now but it's game by game. We've always taken it game by game over the last few years.

"The lads and the stats guys and Conor will have a few things to work on and we know ourselves too that we made a few mistakes. We have to drive on now and improve the next day, win our home game.

"We could have won the game as well, but I suppose at the same time happy to get the draw.

"They were coming forward a bit more with the spare man and getting runners through the middle, alright.

"They were getting the overlaps and stuff. So at times we found it hard to get out of defence but it was our first day out, our first serious game of the year and we'll start from here." Tweet
