Confident Cork show they mean business

Cork 1-18 Mayo 0-12: Cork didn’t so much dip their toes in the waters of redemption yesterday. They dived head first with a fairly impressive double front somersault.

The McGrath Cup may have been tucked away with ease earlier this month, but this first round league contest would give a more accurate reading of where Cork stood under Peadar Healy, or more pertinently, where they were headed.

The verdict come 3.40pm?
