Cork goal power too much for Meath

Cork 3-13 Meath 0-13

The difference in class gives Royals’ manager Mick O’Dowd something to think about as he watched his charges playing second fiddle for long spells on his home pitch.

Meath had the better of much of the first-half and led 0-6 to 0-2 after 20 minutes. But then Cork hit them with 1-6 without reply to go in with a 1-8 to 0-6 interval advantage.
