ROSCOMMON’S RECOVERY FROM last week’s setback at the hands of Meath was a swift one in Division 2, as they sparkled away from home tonight with an emphatic victory over Cork.
Enda Smith, from a penalty, and Ben O’Carroll, availing of a Cork defensive pass that went astray, both netted in the second half, as Roscommon cruised to success.
Roscommon were ahead 0-12 to 0-8 at the interval, inspired by Diarmuid Murtagh’s six-point haul, while Mark Cronin was best for Cork as he fired seven points in that period.
Davy Burke’s side controlled the second half, Conor Hand striking a couple of superb two-pointers as they ran out comfortable victors. Hand finished with 0-6 overall to his credit, while O’Carroll fired 1-3.
Earlier Cavan defeated Down by two points, thanks to a pair of late pointed frees from Oisin Brady.
Cavan were ahead 0-12 to 1-6 at the break, Micheal Rooney netting for Down, with the crucial score for Ray Galligan’s side arriving ten minutes into the second half as Padraig Faulkner raised a green flag.
Brady struck 0-7 overall for Cavan, while Gearoid McKiernan struck 0-5. Pat Havern hit 0-5 for Down.
Elsewhere tonight in Division 3, Laois saw off Antrim 0-22 to 1-17, while Fermanagh and Sligo drew 0-19 apiece.
