Cork launch league campaign with demolition of Kilkenny

Cork got their National Camogie League Division 1 campaign off to a successful start when making light work of understrength Kilkenny in Killeagh, 3-14 to 0-6.

Brendan Williams is returning to the Kilkenny job after Ann Downey stood down last year and with 23 players unavailable, handed debuts to six players.

Cork led by 2-9 to 0-4 at the break, both goals coming from the deadly O’Leary, who finished with 2-4 to her credit. Substitute Finola Neville marked her introduction with a second-half goal, while Katrina Mackey finished with three points.
