The challenge looked set to wilt when Twomey was able to easily skip past Joseph Cooney and add a fourth goal. The shot was low to Fahy’s left and suddenly the game took on an utterly different complication. A sweeping move with unrivalled pace saw Sean Twomey finish their second and Oisin Salmon finish the game. McManus linked up with his inside partner Kevin Cooney for Galway to respond with a goal of their own.

The Rebels struck 2-3 without reply in six minutes after the break while defender Oisin Salmon was also sent off.

He’s got himself in good shape and ready to go.” “No, I don't feel it was. “We started well but Cork were winning the breaks, they had more aggression, they'd more runners and they were the ones that were starting to hurt us and looked like they were going to push on from there. “I feel Cork were probably getting the upper hand, it obviously didn't help us and conceding those two goals so quickly after half-time obviously hurt us bad but I'd felt that Cork had probably grabbed the initiative.” “It definitely did have a bearing because Cathal went off and we ended up with 13 but there was still good fight in the lads and they got a couple of goals.
