No joy for rebels

Cork 2-8 Mayo 1-12, Pairc Ui Rinn

Mayo fought back to spoil Cork's chances of a much-needed league win at Pairc Ui Rinn.

The Rebels, who remain second from bottom in Division 1A, lost their way as Mayo scored 1-3 at the start of the second half and grabbed the match-winning point from Aidan Kilcoyne in injury-time.

Goals from Michael Cussen and Kevin O'Sullivan helped Cork go in at the break with a 2-5 to 0-5 buffer.

But Conor Mortimer netted four minutes into the second period and the Connacht champions overhauled the host with late points from Kevin O'Neill, Marty McNicholas and Kilcoyne.
