Slimmed-down Corkery stakes Cork claim
A trimmer Corkery, under the watchful eye of his club and Cork coach Billy Morgan, had some good moments, scoring 1-5 despite the attention of wary Newmarket full-back Mark Murphy. Niall Geary, too, came into the picture when he replaced Paul Brophy. But it was the exciting Kerrigan who really caught the eye, scoring four terrific points.
Newmarket’s staggering 21 wides was their undoing and even classy corner-forward Tony O'Keeffe, who gave Nemo corner-back Ivan Gibbons a torrid time, couldn’t get a score.
