Late, late drama as Cork and Armagh turn up the heat

NO promotion to chase, no relegation to fear, no provincial championship for the guts of another two months. Neither side had much to gain or lose in south Armagh yesterday and until a dramatic last 10 minutes, it showed.

With almost an hour played, Cork trailed by a single point but the most exciting moment until then had come when news of events in Parnell Park had floated around the ground.

Maybe there was a wind blowing northwards that carried some of Donnycarney’s passion with it but whatever the reason, this dead rubber exploded into life in the last quarter.
