Cork 1-15 Leitrim 0-9A Ciarán Sheehan goal in first half added time provided Cork with a platform for a comfortable victory over a competitive Leitrim, in a game played in difficult conditions at Pairc Sean MhicDiarmada, Carrick-on-Shannon on Sunday. Leitrim more than matched their illustrious opponents who led 0-3 to 0-2 until a brace of points by Cathal O’Mahony and John O’Rourke in the 25th and 27th minutes respectively extended the Cork lead. Leitrim outscored Cork in the opening 20 minutes of the second half, reducing the arrears to six points with 15 minutes remaining, but Cork’s dominance was rarely threatened. Leitrim: D McKiernan, C Reynolds, F McTague, P Maguire, A Flynn, J Gilheany, C McGloin, D Wrynn, S Moran, S Quinn, D McGovern, D Flynn, O McCaffrey, D Rooney, K Beirne (0-7, five frees). Cork: M Martin, S Powter, T Clancy (0-1), L O’Donovan, T Corkery (0-1), K Crowley, M Taylor, I Maguire, B Hartnett, J O’Rourke (0-1), S White (0-1), R Deane, M Hurley, C Sheehan (1-3), C O’Mahony (0-3, one free).
