The wait for a Shefflin win as Kilkenny boss goes as red-hot Rebels beat Cats

All-Ireland champions Cork continue to be the form team in Division 1A of the VERY Camogie League, recording three wins out of three games, but they got more of a challenge from Kilkenny than the scoreline at SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh would suggest.

An excellent Aoife Norris save to deny Orlaith Cahalane, allied to early points from the Kilkenny midfield duo of Laura Murphy and Aobha O’Gorman, helped to establish an early 0-6 to 0-2 lead for the visitors.

Cahalane didn’t miss when she got a second chance to hit the net and even though Kilkenny stayed in the game up to half-time, for Cork to lead by 1-7 to 0-9 after struggling to hit the high notes felt like a missed opportunity for the Leinster county.

The next 20 minutes were a completely different story, with the Rebels adding 1-7 unanswered. Sorcha McCartan hit four points out of her 1-7 in that run, and once Saoirse McCarthy got the first of her two goals, Ger Manley’s troops were out of sight and could coast over the finish line.
