Cork now nervously looking over their shoulder

Possibility of a Tailteann Cup summer now more than a distant threat after defeat in Ennis

SUNDAY'S win for Colm Collins' men guarantees either Clare or Limerick a place in the Sam Maguire, but Cork now find themselves standing nervously in no man's land for the next few weeks.

Cork's fourth place finish in Division 2 left them 12th in the overall league standings and looking pretty secure for a place in the 16-team group stages of the All-Ireland series.
