Electric Ireland Minor Football Championship Quarter-Final

Cork 3-19 Meath 1-12

Cork advanced to the penultimate stage of the Electric Ireland MFC following a convincing win over Meath at FBD Semple Stadium.

The Munster standard bearers were always in control with goalkeeper Rory Twohig an influential figure.

Twohig’s splendid kicking was a feature of the game, contributing 0-9, including three two pointers from frees.

Early on Cork seized the initiative with Joe Miskella and Twohig landing fine scores from distance as they departed 0-13 to 0-3 ahead at the interval.

Eoghan Ahern pounced to net a Cork goal immediately after the restart following a sharp pass from Jacob Barry.

Kieran O’Shea added a second goal for Cork, who moved 2-14 to 0-5 in the 38th minute.

Harry McGuirk trimmed the deficit, supplying a major for Meath, but Miskella struck back for Cork, who cruised to victory.
