Fermanagh tear ragged, rudderless Cork to shreds

Fermanagh 0-18 Cork 0-12

The headlines might scream of a Cork crisis - and selector Colman Corrigan’s damning assessment afterwards that “Cork are years behind the top teams,” won’t be easily digested - but Saturday belonged to Fermanagh, the smallest pick of all GAA counties, with more water than playable land, and now conquerors of Cork.

Cork were truly awful in Croke Park, a rudderless, patch-work team but Fermanagh were good. Very good. The last time they came to Croke Park, they were given a lesson by Tyrone. A lesson they took on board.
