Cork get title tilt back on track

A Billy Dennehy penalty and a fine strike from Gearoid Morrissey gave John Caufield’s side a two-goal lead before 17 minutes had elapsed and, despite some promising play at times by a rejuvenated Derry, that’s the way it stayed.
Former Sligo Rovers man Iarfhlaith Davoren, making only his second league start for Cork, was drafted in at left-back, with Brian Lenihan moved forward to the right side of midfield and Liam Kearney deployed centrally, as Gary Buckley stayed on the bench until late on.
