Ephie Fitzgerald hails ‘phenomenal’ Cork

After taking over from Eamonn Ryan in January, there was inevitable ‘getting to know you period’ and while Cork started their 2016 League campaign in sluggish fashion, they’re now clicking into top gear.

On Saturday at St Brendan’s Park in Birr, they came from two points down at half-time to win by seven against Dublin, outscoring the Sky Blues 0-11 to 0-2 in the second- half.
