Kilkenny show depth as Cork simply outclassed

Allianz Hurling League Division 1A: Cork 2-17 Kilkenny 1-22: The names may change, but the work-rate stays the same.

Kilkenny rolled into Cork on Saturday night with a stellar cast missing from their ranks, but they rolled back east with the win all the same, having outworked their opponents from start to finish.

Disregard the late, late goal chance that would have snatched victory for Cork: their own manager said the margin of defeat was misleading.
