Murphy strike saves Cork

A goal in the dying seconds of injury time from right corner-forward Kieran Murphy of Sarsfields dramatically preserved Cork’s unbeaten run in Division 1 ‘B’ of the Allianz National Hurling League at Páirc Uí Chaoimh yesterday.

Cork 3-11 Offaly 1-15

Without question this was a very hard-earned triumph for a Cork side that struggled up front for long periods and coach Donal O’Grady said: “Offaly will feel hard done-by that they did not get a draw at least.”
