Panel power the key

THEY may not have attained the heights when they crushed Donegal at the same stage last year, but considering the drama over the weekend all that mattered for Cork in yesterday’s All-Ireland quarter-final against Roscommon was getting the job done.

Panel power the key

They may not have been hugely impressive, but I never felt Cork were in danger of exiting the championship.

The turning point was the goal chance Roscommon had early in the second-half. It was an excellent save by Alan Quirke and seemed to spur Cork on. Even if the ball had ended up back in the net, I don’t think the result would have changed, but it would have been a rocky and nervous road to victory for Cork.
