Cork too strong for Dublin

Dublin 0-15 Cork 3-20

A brace of goals from team captain Kieran Murphy guided Cork to a comprehensive SHC qualifier win over Dublin at a packed Parnell Park today.

Erin's Own clubman Murphy rippled the net in each half as the Rebels, whose third goal arrived in injury-time from Pa Cronin, proved too strong.

Dublin were well in touch at the break, trailing by 1-9 to 0-7, with points from Padraig O'Driscoll, Joey Boland and David Curtin sandwiching Murphy's 28th-minute goal.

But with Joe Deane and Ben O'Connor both influential, Cork pulled clear and scores from Murphy (49 minutes) and Cronin sealed the victory.
