Cork leak goals but managers happy with workout

Galway 4-16 Cork 1-22

It was a good workout with plenty of scores and no serious injuries. On a beautiful afternoon, splendid sod, points were always going to be scored, and an abundance of them, but four goals conceded? Not to worry, said Cork manager John Allen.

“We were down 10 of our panel; take Sean Óg Ó hAilpín, Ronan Curran, Pat Mulcahy, Brian Murphy out of any defence, and you’ll be under pressure. Overall I was very pleased, we scored 1-22; obviously it’s a concern when you leak goals, but two weeks before the Munster final, it was a good workout.”
