Lehane: Goals gave us momentum

Cork’s star man on Saturday night, Conor Lehane, said the goals his side notched in a dominant first-half were crucial to their win over Wexford. Lehane himself grabbed the first and he created the second for full-forward Seamus Harnedy.

“It’s the same in any game, any time you have a chance for a goal you take it. They’re heartbreaking for the other team, they give you momentum, the crowd gets behind you.

“We had a good first-half, the wind is a huge factor no matter what you say. We knew we had to keep our heads for that part of the game - they made a run but thankfully we came out on top.
