Cork 0-4 Dublin 0-1
Cork looking good in the early exchanges as Patrick Horgan turns his man and cracks over a point off his left. Dublin get a chance to reply when David Treacy lines up a free at halfway but his shot drifts wide.

Big goal chance for Dublin as the ball breaks kindly for Treacy and he runs through unopposed but his low shot is straight at Anthony Nash and the Cork goalkeeper does well to make the save. Durbin gets a chance to point for Dublin but his shot tails wide. Cork still three to the good.

Cork 0-5 Dublin 0-2

Cork 0-12 Dublin 0-3
A Patrick Horgan free extends Cork’s lead to nine.

Cork 0-13 Dublin 0-4
Better from Dublin as Shane Durkin is on target with a neat point. But then Niall McMorrow is blown for over carrying – it looked harsh – and Horgan makes no mistake from the free.

Aidan Walsh is fouled and Horgan slots the free but McMorrow replies with a Dublin point. Cork’s dominance has been staggering in this first-half.

So what points total do we think Cork could reach? They’ve struck 25 already and there’s 23 minutes of normal time left.

Ger Cunningham becoming a bit more animated on the Dublin sideline since half-time. He’s not happy with some of Dublin’s play, considering how good their form has been in the opening two rounds against Tipperary and Kilkenny.

Cork 0-25 Dublin 0-15
Paul Ryan’s been a bright spot for Dublin since being brought on and he’s notched another two points, a good effort from the Cusack Stand side from play and then he converts a free after being fouled himself. He’s struck 0-6 since coming in to the game.

Interesting point…
