Five pointers for Cork stop the bleeding

Over four weeks on, the value of Cork’s opening round win over Mayo in Páirc Uí Rinn has been depreciated greatly, both by Mayo, who have followed it up with two more defeats, and by Cork themselves. 

From a score difference of +9, Cork’s now reads -19 after two double-digit trimmings where Donegal and Roscommon have scored 20 and 37 points, respectively.

Now unbeaten Dublin, who haven’t conceded a goal in over 320 minutes of league and championship football, confront them.
