Top Cat Hogan denies Cork

AT half-time in this Allianz NHL round two game in Nowlan Park yesterday it looked like Cork were heading for another terrible beating.

Nothing along the lines of the humiliation two years ago, but at 0-10 to 0-2 looking like a debilitating defeat nevertheless.

The Kilkenny half-back trio of Tommy Walsh, Jackie Tyrell and PJ Delaney were lording it, the home crowd in full voice as they urged on their heroes. So, what wrought the transformation for Cork?
