Powter to the fore as Cork get back in promotion hunt via IrishTimesSport
Points through Eoghan McSweeney and the industrious Chris Óg Jones nudged the visitors back in front by the 41st minute before the latter teed up wing-back Matty Taylor for a timely goal two minutes later at 2-5 to 1-4.
The returning Ruairí Dean, McSweeney, Brian Hurley and full-forward Jones stretched the gap to six before Sean Powter raided for the clinching goal entering the final 10 minutes. Despite being level on three more occasions, Sexton would again come to his side’s rescue alongside goalkeeper Ryan to inch the hosts the minimum clear by the break.
