Cloonan on fire as Athenry squeeze past Cork

Athenry 2-22 Cork 4-15

The game was a personal triumph for Eugene Cloonan who finished with 2-12 and his form won't go unnoticed by county manager Conor Hayes.

It also marked the return to competitive hurling of Shane Donoghue who had a six-months suspension reduced to three, strengthening Athenry's bid for glory on St Patrick's Day.
