Cork overcome a stern first-half challenge from Down to get their campaign back on track
The deadly duo provided the next three points between them but Offaly displayed their renowned spirit and bounced back to be level once more. Becky Bryant and Labhaoise Glynn drawing them to within a goal before that deficit was wiped out by Glynn after 22 minutes.
Galway maintained their 100 per cent record also, inflicting a first defeat on Clare in the process but their neighbours provided a stiff test and the Maroons were happy to escape from Cusack Park with a 1-13 to 0-13 triumph. Points from McNamara and Orlaith Duggan brought Clare within two but that was as close as they got, as Galway just about managed to keep them at arm’s length.
That put the visitors a goal ahead but less than five minutes later, the Rebels had inched in front as Katrina Mackey drilled to the net from point-blank range after Fiona Keating had drawn the defensive cover with a trademark run down the middle.
