Cork hurlers return with a win

Dublin 2-16 Cork 3-18

A full 31 weeks after their last competitive outing, Cork's hurlers got their NHL campaign up and running by beating Dublin at Parnell Park.

Fintan O'Leary's injury-time goal put a gloss on what was a tough encounter for Gerald McCarthy's side.

Neil Ronan kicked home a second-minute goal for Cork but a Kevin Flynn major and seven points from Stuart Mullen had Dublin leading 1-12 to 1-06 at half-time.

Ronan and Dublin substitute Peter Kelly swapped further goals before O'Leary crowned Cork's comeback.
