For all their measured build-up play, Cork butchered too many chances against the Dubs
As soon as Peader O’Cofaigh Byrne was booked Dessie Farrell immediately took him off for fear of what might happen next, but he couldn’t save Lee Gannon from a second yellow for a late shoulder on Sean Powter; Mulhare didn’t see the incident but he clearly took advice in his ear piece and sent the Dublin wing back to the line, nine minutes after Maguire.
Cork trailed by a point at the break, despite having played with a strong breeze. For all their measured build-up play, and smart use of long kick-passes to inside targets, Cork butchered too many chances. That score put Cork three points in front, 1-5 to 0-5, and they weren’t flattered by that lead. Dublin couldn’t get to grips with Brian Hurley and the Cork captain kicked four sweet points in the first half. Crucially, though, there was good variety to Cork’s attacking play, with much a reduced emphasis on running the ball into congested areas.
