NHL Division 1A: Cork 6-26 Offaly 0-20A hungry, no-nonsense Cork made no mistake as they booked their slot in the National Hurling League final with a runaway 24-point win over Offaly in Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Saturday evening. With Offaly already relegated, an upset was never likely here and Cork were full value for their win. While he was at fault for Cork’s fifth goal, Offaly goalkeeper Liam Hoare made some super saves as Cork consistently got in on him. Offaly were trailing by 1-7 to 0-6 with 30 minutes gone but Cork struck for a match-winning 2-3 without reply. It was 3-14 to 0-10 after 43 minutes and Cork ran riot in the next few minutes.
