Cork firepower shoots down dogged Farney

IN recent times, victories for the Cork footballers have tended to revolve around the scoring exploits of their stars in the full-forward line.

It was the case in the All-Ireland semi-final and final, when Donncha O’Connor and Daniel Goulding carried the burden, and three weeks ago in Tralee they picked up where they left off.

Against Monaghan at Páirc Uí Chaoimh yesterday, however, the All-Ireland champions showed that they can garner victories even without the inside line functioning fully, as the starting trio of Goulding, O’Connor and Ciarán Sheehan scored just two points from play between them.
