Cork Off to Winning Start in Allianz Hurling League

 

Cork began their Allianz Hurling League campaign with an impressive win over Wexford at Chadwicks Wexford Park. Despite difficult weather conditions that hindered fluid play, the Rebels delivered a commanding team performance, laying down an early-season marker.

Key players Brian Hayes, Niall O’Leary, Padraig Power, and Cormac O’Brien led the charge, ensuring Cork stayed in control throughout the match. The team showed excellent cohesion and determination, setting a solid foundation for the season ahead.

The game wasn’t without its challenges, however. Declan Dalton received a straight red card in the second half, ruling him out of Cork’s clash with Limerick next Saturday night. His absence will be a blow, but the team’s collective effort and depth provide hope for a strong showing in the upcoming fixture.
