Cork had gone to Donegal in the league and lost by double digits. Cork, buoyant at having taken the contest this far down the road, refocused for the endgame. Net effect: Cork were now in full cry and Donegal knew that they were in deep trouble. Hurley pushed Cork four ahead in the 53rd minute but in the final quarter, the big push came. DONEGAL: S Patton; EB Gallagher, B McCole, P Mogan; R McHugh (0-1), C McGonagle (0-1), C Moore (0-2); J McGee, M Langan; S O’Donnell, C Thompson, D Ó Baoill; P McBrearty (0-7, three frees), O Gallen (0-3, two frees, N O’Donnell (0-1).
