Cork punish wasteful Dubs to stay unbeaten

CORK remain the only unbeaten side in Division One of the NHL after this trip to the capital but they should probably send a ‘Thank You’ card Dublin’s way after yesterday afternoon’s fifth round clash.

Dublin were more than a match for the Munster side, just as they were the weekend before when it was Kilkenny who paid Donnycarney a visit, but Anthony Daly’s men were the architects of their own demise on both occasions.

Dublin amassed a total of 18 wides – a failure rate of 60%. Five ill-advised shots on Donal Óg Cusack’s net when easy points were on offer sealed their downfall against a Cork side which also failed to fire.
