Kieran Kingston commended his players for the manner in which they fought back to rescue this victory in LIT Gaelic Grounds.

Down a man with what turned out to be over seven more minutes of play when Jack O'Connor picked up a second booking and losing Niall O’Leary to a yellow-sin bin combination in additional time, there was steel in how Cork finished the game from the impact of the young substitutes to Patrick Collins’s match-winning save from Tony Kelly.
