Dominant performance by Dublin, ominous for their opponents as they looked in great form at Croke Park. Bugler won a deserved man of the match.
That’s all from me for tonight, good night!
Jake Morris on RTÉ:
We are trying to do our talking on the field, we’re working hard, that’s a decent result tonight. Our backs have been superb since the start of the league, our forwards have given us a boost of energy today. We can’t stay looking in the back mirror and focus on the future. We’re down in the trenches, it’s hard to listen to the otside noise. We need to focus on what’s in the dressingroom.
Ronan Maher named man of the match:
It’s a great atmosphere, it’s great to play these games on a Saturday night. Happy with the performance. Lads worked well for each other. Big performance from a few new lads. It’s great to see that.
72 mins: Cork going for goal, they had numbers over but poor decision making with the pass and Hogan comes out smartly to knock it out for a 65. Fitzgibbon misses the 65, a rare miss on the day for him.
Full-time: Tipperary 2-22 Cork 1-21
