Cork fail to impress again

CORK’S aspirations of winning this year’s Munster minor hurling championship remain intact, but Saturday night’s victory over Kerry at Páirc Uí Chaoimh was not without anxiety.

While 13 points separated the sides, Cork limited their visitors to just a point in the second-half as Robert O’Shea producing a master class in free taking.

But late in the first-half Kerry had their noses in front with points from Luke Fitzell and Padraig Boyle to edge them into a 0-10 to 2-5 lead by the 24th minute.
