Cody has comfort for Cork after Cats coast home in second half

Kilkenny 0-22 - Cork 0-15: A tale of two halves in blustery Nowlan Park yesterday, with the home side surfing a six-point scoring burst after the break to pick up a first win of their 2017 Allianz League campaign.

Kilkenny were imperious in the second-half and outscored Cork 11 points to five after an opening 35 minutes that was very closely contested.

The home manager offered this quick precis of the game at the final whistle.
