Third quarter surge sends Cork on way

Cork 2-18 Wexford 2-12

The Rebels got off to the worst possible start when Jim Berry’s shot from distance flew all the way to the net, as former Wexford senior star, Red Barry challenged Cork goalkeeper Richie Cunningham.

Cunningham illustrated the composure of Liam Hayes’ side as he was very solid aerially from that juncture and made a cracking full-length save from Barry in the second half. Unsurprisingly, Hayes pointed to the manner in which his team went through the gears in the second-half as being crucial.
