Where to for Cork football now? The Rebels season came to an end – some might say an inevitable end – against Dublin last Saturday, a three-point loss drawing a line under a season that promised much but failed to deliver much.

They didn't win promotion out of Division 2 (again), they didn't reach the Munster final (again), they didn't get back to the All-Ireland quarter-finals.
