Jack is back to boost Dublin, defeat for Cork but display a cause for hope.
THE SCOREBOARD PROCLAIMED the outcome plainly in Páirc Uí Chaoimh, two points the difference between winning and losing.
And yet it was a game that will have sparked flashes of hope in both camps, flaws apparent on a mid-February afternoon and still a sense of travelling generally in the right direction.Dublin The biggest cause for cheer amongst the Dublin support base came shortly before throw-in. Pre-match changes to announced team selections are nothing new.
The 75th minute saw a burst of acceleration that left the Cork defence trailing in his wake and a shot tidily knocked over the bar to send Dublin two clear. There was a yellow card, seemingly for delaying Cork taking a free, and a couple of other notable attacking inputs. Jack was back and straight into the thick of the action.“Jack’s been a great addition to the squad, not just for what he can do outside but just his mere presence around the place,” said Dessie Farrell afterwards.
But it felt like a day dominated by the return of McCaffrey. For a Round 3 league game that’s a positive outcome.Cork When Cork took on Dublin in the 2019 Super 8s, they were three points down with ten minutes left and wound up losing by 13, collapsing under the weight of a wave of blue goals.
