Classy Kanturk keep foot on the pedal and book Croker final date

The Cork side had a dream start and never let up with a powerful display which had their manager Donagh Duane smiling at the final whistle. “I was delighted with the way our fellas approached the game. From the word go we had a tactic to run at them and that paid off with our first goals. Those gave us a cushion all the way through and it didn’t seem to matter to the players what the scoreboard said, they just kept driving it on. We have experienced games before where we were up eight points and were brought back to level so we knew that the job was far from done at half-time.
“At half-time we spoke about work rate, blocking, hooking and we continued where we left off after the break. Our shooting was good also which was another plus and other than a few small knocks we seem to have come through okay.”
