Murray, who led Cork to four O’Duffy titles in a decade, appeared on The Sunday Game and talked through a number of clips from the match – picking out moments that he felt his former team were doing “poorly” as they lacked depth and a target at the edge of the square.

When asked by Des Cahill to explain Cork’s approach, he said: “I think the biggest issue this year is they went with a sweeper. It puzzled me because if you look at our six backs, I think we had enough pace to counter any of the opposition.
“So when you’re taking a player from your forward line, you’re always going to be in trouble in your forward line.
“Also, I would’ve liked to see the likes of Sorcha McCartan and Chloe Sigerson out the field and maybe put the likes of Amy [O'Connor] and Katrina [Mackey] on the edge of the square because their pace is going to trouble any opponent.
I just think the mix wasn’t right and I think it was that way for the year really.”
