Pat Ryan: 'A clean sheet is what we're expecting from our lads and that's what is driven into our goalies as well'

On a cold and blustery night on Leeside, Cork were full value for their 12-point win over Galway at Supervalu Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Saturday. There were 11 different scorers including the returning Séamus Harnedy and Alan Connolly, while Patrick Horgan in his 18th inter-county season became the leading league scorer in front of a strong home support in the crowd of 20,010.

Of Cork’s 4-22, 4-15 came from open play. The Rebels have now scored 10 goals in the last two games and kept a second clean sheet in-a-row.
