Dublin 2-15
\nCork 2-3<\/p>\n
Aisling Clery reports from Croke Park<\/em><\/p>\n HANNAH TYRRELL SCORED 1-9 as holders Dublin marked their return to Croke Park with a comprehensive victory over Cork in the Lidl National Football League Division 1B.<\/p>\n Mick Bohan\u2019s side were in control throughout and second half goals from Libby Coppinger and \u00c1ine O\u2019Sullivan were not enough to reel them back after Cork trailed by 1-9 to 0-2 at half-time.<\/p>\n The first half was dominated by Dublin but it was Cork who were first to strike when Orla Finn converted a second minute free. Dublin hit 1-6 without reply after that, Tyrrell levelled the game from a free before Niamh Hetherton added a point from play to give them the lead for the first time in the sixth minute, they never looked back.<\/p>\n Dublin\u2019s first goal arrived moments later when Kate Sullivan offloaded to Nicole Owens and the St Sylvester\u2019s star rifled to the net. A further point from Owens and three successful frees from Tyrrell sent Dublin into a 1-6 to 0-1 lead at the first water break.<\/p>\n Finn scored her second point on the resumption, Cork\u2019s first score in 17 minutes, before Dublin regained the ascendency with Tyrrell converting two frees. They could have been further ahead but Martina O\u2019Brien turned Owens\u2019 shot round the post before Sullivan scored to give Dublin a ten-point advantage at half-time.<\/p>\n Tyrrell pushed Dublin into a 1-11 to 0-2 lead with two points at the start of the second half and Sullivan scored her second but then Cork were handed a lifeline. Substitute Aisling Kelleher sent the ball in to the box, Abby Shiels scrambled to save it and Libby Coppinger finished the rebound to the net.<\/p>\n Nevertheless, Dublin responded with Tyrrell and Orlagh Nolan on target to push them 1-14 to 1-2 ahead by the final water break.<\/p>\n Katie Quirke scored after some patient build up before Cork\u2019s second goal, when O\u2019Sullivan slipped the ball past Shiels to reduce the gap to eight points, but Dublin weren\u2019t finished yet.<\/p>\n Siobh\u00e1n Killeen was fouled in the box, and Tyrrell scored the penalty to bring her tally to 1-9 and earn Dublin\u2019s second win in 2022 with reigning TG4 All-Ireland champions Meath next up.<\/p>\n Scorers for Dublin: H Tyrrell 1-9 (8f), N Owens 1-1, K Sullivan 0-2, N Hetherton 0-1, O Nolan 0-1, S Killeen 0-1.<\/p>\n Scorers for Cork: L Coppinger 1-0, \u00c1 O\u2019Sullivan 1-0, O Finn 0-2 (1f), K Quirke 0-1.<\/p>\n Dublin: A Shiels; J Tobin, L Caffrey, H Leahy; A Kane, M Byrne, O Nolan; J Dunne, K McDaid; C O\u2019Connor, N Hetherton, K Sullivan; J Egan, H Tyrrell, N Owens.<\/p>\n Subs: N Collins for Caffrey (30), S Killeen for Egan (30), R Hartnett for McDaid (38), S Fagan for Nolan (46), L Davey for Hetherton (46), S Woods for Owens (46), E Gribben for Kane (54), S Wylde for O\u2019Connor (54), R Brennan for Leahy (54), O Whyte for Tyrrell (59)<\/p>\n \n Get closer to the stories that matter with exclusive analysis, insight and debate in The42 Membership.\n <\/p>\n Become a Member<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Cork: M O\u2019Brien; M Ambrose, R Phelan, M Cahalane; L O\u2019Mahony, M Duggan, E O\u2019Shea; A Hutchings, S Kelly; E Cleary, L Coppinger, D Kiely; S O\u2019Leary, K Quirke, O Finn.<\/p>\n Subs: D Kinry for Ambrose (30), A O\u2019Mahony for Kiely (30), R Leahy for O\u2019Leary (30), A Kelleher for Duggan (37), E Scally for Coppinger (42), \u00c1 O\u2019Sullivan for Finn (46), E Kiely for Cleary (46), C Collins for O\u2019Shea (56)<\/p>\n Referee: Kevin Phelan (Laois).<\/p>\n The42 is on Instagram!
