Corry bags double as Cork crush Kingdom
Cork 5-18 Kerry 1-14
Cork's season got off to an impressive start on Saturday as the Leesiders put Kerry to the sword at Pairc Ui Rinn.
With Jimmy Barry-Murphy back in charge for the first time in over a decade, goals from Ryan Clifford, Patrick Horgan, Eoin Murphy added to a brace of net busters from Brian Corry as the Kingdom struggled to keep pace.
Though Kerry found a late consolation goal from Aidan Boyle the result was never in doubt as the Rebels advanced to the semis.
