What do you think?
Tyrone have the wind in their sails but Cork have put up decent fights against both Kerry and Dublin so far in the championship. Who do you fancy to emerge victorious this evening?
Cork 1-0 Tyrone 0-0: Oh my word, what a start for Cork! Straight from throw-in, the Rebels blow a hole through the Tyrone defence and Luke Connolly smashes home!
20 Jul 2019
5:05PM
Cork 1-1 Tyrone 0-1: Mark Collins pops over a free for the Rebels after Tyrone responded seconds after the goal.
Connolly’s goal, which was the result of some nice work by Ian Maguire and Brian Hurley, was clocked at just 15 seconds!
20 Jul 2019
5:06PM
Cork 1-1 Tyrone 0-2: Peter Harte brings Tyrone back to within two with a free of his own.
20 Jul 2019
5:09PM
Here’s that goal by Luke Connolly only seconds after throw-in:
Cork 1-2 Tyrone 0-2: Tyrone ‘keeper Niall Morgan hooks a free left and wide from some 50 yards.
Cork’s buid-up is extremely patient as it was so often against Kerry and Dublin. They’re retaining possession, obviously cognisant of what Tyrone are capable of on the turnover.
After almost a minute of possession, Mattie Taylor flies up the left into space, and fires over a lovely score. Really strong stuff by the Rebels.
20 Jul 2019
5:19PM
Cork 1-3 Tyrone 0-2: Tomás Clancy is gone off injured for the Leesiders — he’s replaced by James Loughrey.
Colm Cavanagh is in the book for Tyrone after a high-enough challenge — I think it was on Sean White. Mark Collins lands the resultant free and Cork lead by four.
Cork 2-3 Tyrone 0-2: Ohhh, what a stunning goal for Cork! James Loughrey blasts it into Niall Morgan’s top-right-hand corner after some wonderful build-up play. Ruarí Deane released Loughrey — just on as a sub — and the 33-year-old unleashes a piledriver. Unstoppable.
20 Jul 2019
5:23PM
Cork 2-3 Tyrone 0-2: Early days, of course, and Tyrone will surely have their say yet, but Cork have really dominated this first 22 minutes. Oozing confidence and quality, and frustrating Tyrone with their ability to hold onto the ball.
They still lead by seven.
20 Jul 2019
5:25PM
Cork 2-3 Tyrone 0-3: Tyrone’s first score in 18 (eighteen) minutes comes from Conor Meyler.
Cork 2-4 Tyrone 0-3: A pity for Cork, there, as Sean White is fouled and Thomas Clancy lands a scarcely believable point from some 50 yards. Maurice Deegan had already blown his whistle, however — after playing an advantage, in fairness.
In the end, it doesn’t matter, as Luke Connolly lands a monster free from the floor.
20 Jul 2019
5:29PM
Cork 2-4 Cork 0-4: Tyrone sniff a goal with some patient build-up of their own, but ultimately Peter Harte fires it high over the bar — he was aiming for a point. The two goals separate the teams.
20 Jul 2019
5:30PM
Cork 2-4 Tyrone 0-4: Sean White has had 25 possessions in 28 minutes. Crazy stuff.
Cork have enjoyed 66% possession so far.
20 Jul 2019
5:32PM
Cork 2-4 Tyrone 0-5: Peter Harte taps over his third point with a free after a clumsly slide-tackle-like challenge from Mark Collins.
The crowd is so sparse that you can actually hear the Cork management team constantly calling for patience when their side gains possession.

5:37PM
Cork 2-4 Tyrone 0-5: Frank Burns has one come back off the post as the board goes up and shows three minutes of added time at the end of the first half.
When these teams met during last year’s massacre in Tyrone’s favour, it was Mickey Harte’s men who led by five at half-time.
The tables have turned on this occasion, but there is still a full half of football to be played at HQ.
Catch you in a few!

Second half
We’re back under way at Croke Park. Should be some second half. Enjoy!
20 Jul 2019
6:03PM
Cork 2-4 Tyrone 0-5: Mickey Harte has made three changes at the break: Richie Donnelly, Paidi Hamsey and Michael Cassidy are all on. Darren McCurry, HP McGeary and Brian Kennedy off.
20 Jul 2019
6:04PM
Cork 2-5 Tyrone 0-5: Sean White gets the first score of the second half and Cork stretch their lead back out to six. They hadn’t actually scored since the 26th minute, so a much-needed conversion, there, by White, who’s been everywhere.
Luke Connolly is a little bit disappointed he didn’t get the ball inside for a one-on-one goal chance, but White was happy to take the single.
20 Jul 2019
6:06PM
Cork 2-5 Tyrone 0-6: Liam O’Donovan with a tactical foul, preventng a possible goal chance for Tyrone as Kieran McGeary charged forward. Yellow for O’Donovan. Cathal McShane clips over his second of the match.
Cork 2-5 Tyrone 1-6: Great work by Mattie Donnelly who collects the ball out wide and cuts inside to tee up McShane, who palms home his third championship goal of the season. Tyrone are right back in it!
Tyrone 2-8 Cork 2-6: Mattie Donnelly has changed the game in this second half, and taps one over from close range.
Paul Kerrigan and Michael Hurley have replaced Brian Hurley and Mark Collins respectively over the last few minutes. That’s Cork’s two top scorers in the championship this season gone off.
20 Jul 2019
6:19PM
Tyrone 2-8 Cork 2-7: Lovely build-up play by Cork and Michael Hurley has a goal chance but opts to fist it over from a tight angle. A bit of a settler for the Rebels, who have been sucker-punched in the second period.
20 Jul 2019
6:21PM
Tyrone 2-8 Cork 2-7: Tyrone let off the hook! Cork dispossess Tyrone from the latter’s kick out and the ball eventually finds its way through to Luke Connolly, whose soccer-style finish is sliced wide of Niall Morgan’s goal.
20 Jul 2019
6:24PM
Cork 2-8 Tyrone 2-8: Michael Hurley’s impressive introduction continues — the substitute levels it from an acute angle with a lovely, lovely score.
The teams are level for the first time since throw-in!
20 Jul 2019
6:25PM
Tyrone 2-9 Cork 2-9: Mattie Donnelly doing it himself up top — another inspirational score as he comes infield and evades a couple of challenges before firing high and wide over the bar.
The same could nearly be said of Michael Hurley, who levels it again with another beaut of his own up the other end.
20 Jul 2019
6:26PM
Tyrone 2-10 Cork 2-9: Peter Harte slaloms in and converts from close range.
The Cork defence is starting to tire ever so slightly.
20 Jul 2019
6:27PM
Tyrone 2-11 Cork 2-9: Tiernan McCann doubles Tyrone’s lead as he cuts in towards goal from the left-hand side and fires just over the bar. Tyrone in the ascendancy now.
20 Jul 2019
6:30PM
Tyrone 2-12 Cork 2-9: Cathal McShane takes the lead out to three with a free. Tyrone’s biggest lead of the match.
20 Jul 2019
6:33PM
Tyrone 2-12 Cork 2-10: Luke Connolly converts a free and the gap is back to two. Cork hanging in there Tyrone still in control, here, with two minutes plus added time to go.
20 Jul 2019
6:36PM
Tyrone 2-14 Cork 2-10: Cathal McShane extends the lead to three with a free before Mattie Donnelly draws the biggest roar of the evening with a trademark score. That could be the consolidating point for the Ulstermen.
Moments later, Donnelly forces a super save from Mark White. That really would have killed it.
20 Jul 2019
6:36PM
Added time: five minutes
20 Jul 2019
6:37PM
Tyrone 2-14 Cork 2-11: John O’Rourke takes it back to within a goal for Cork.
20 Jul 2019
6:39PM
Tyrone 2-14 Cork 2-12: Michael Hurley adds his fourth from play and the gap is two, but Cork are running out of time.
20 Jul 2019
6:40PM
Tyrone 2-15 Cork 2-12: McShane seals it, surely, with another free. Time is up.
Great character shown by Tyrone in the second half after what was a poor first-half showing. Ultimately, a 10-minute spell has proved costly for Cork again, but they’ve proved plenty themselves in their last two fixtures against two All-Ireland contenders.
If Dublin beat Roscommon in the 7pm throw-in, next week’s fixtures in this group will be meaningless.
Thanks for joining us, and keep and eye on The42 for a full report and reaction from Croke Park.

Correction
Apologies — I mistakenly gave the wrong final score at the end. It was full-time: Tyrone 2-15 Cork 2-12.

Poll Results:
Wow, with just over five minutes to throw-in, 50% of you fancy Cork to get the job done today, while just the 44% of you are backing Tyrone.
Shout-out to the 14 of you who think it’ll be a draw — what’s the view like from up there on the fence?
We’re minutes away, and incidentally, there are only about 14 people in Croke Park…
Here’s an interesting one: former Ireland rugby international Bernard Jackman has been speaking with the Cork players ahead of throw-in…
Cork 1-0 Tyrone 0-0: Oh my word, what a start for Cork! Straight from throw-in, the Rebels blow a hole through the Tyrone defence and Luke Connolly smashes home!
Cork 1-1 Tyrone 0-1: Mark Collins pops over a free for the Rebels after Tyrone responded seconds after the goal.
