Horgan and Coughlan shine for Rebels

Cork 3-18 Laois 0-13

The game, held to celebrate the opening of the club’s new facilities, was somewhat spoiled by a strong breeze but Laois adapted to it quicker and jumped into an early four-point lead thanks to the accuracy of wing-forward Willie Hyland.

However, once Cork found their feet they were in command. Brian Murphy was dominant at wing-back, Niall McCarthy won a lot of ball around the middle and Patrick Horgan was unerring up front.
