Cork marked their return to the big time with a deserved victory to scupper Wexford’s four-in-a-row Camogie League Division 1 title bid at Semple Stadium.

LAOIS began life under Cork legend Teddy McCarthy with a battling extra-time victory over DIT in Rathdowney on Saturday.

WEXFORD made it a dismal week for Laois hurling as they handed the visitors a real mauling in this one-sided Leinster Under-21 hurling championship semi-final at Wexford Park last night.
