Second goal was a killer blow, admits Cork boss Meyler

Cork manager John Meyler paid tribute to Tipperary yesterday after the Premier County’s victory in Páirc Ui Chaoimh, picking out their “clinical” second goal as the key moment in the game.

“I was happy at half-time,” said Meyler. “The wind was picking up and I felt that if we got back in at half-time and reorganised and resettled, get focused again (we had a good chance) but Tipp just came out of the blocks again.
