Intrepid Cork go on offensive and beat Monaghan
The beauty of this latest Cork victory might be that they won’t get the credit for it. Even if this was a rip-roaring bruiser of a game, even if they beat Donegal when the league resumes on March 1, even if they go the rest of the campaign undefeated, the jury will remain out until July 5 at the earliest. Leagues are no longer accurate barometers for them.
They understand that, and they probably won’t mind all that much. Here, operating more offensively than last week, they were good for their victory because of their doggedness. Twice in the second half, Monaghan looked to be on their way to two wins out of two, only for an otherwise quiet Colm O’Neill to find the net.
