Queens outplay Cork IT during tough Northern exposure

Queens 0-11 Cork IT 0-7

It was Armagh star Paddy McKeever’s accuracy from frees that helped Queens pull away from Cork IT in the dying stages of the first half. The Armagh attacker, who scored a goal in last year’s All-Ireland semi-final, notched up six points, five from frees.

Marty McGrath was the most influential player on the pitch, sweeping up any stray ball from midfield and manager James McCartan was full of praise for the Fermanagh centre-fielder.
