CORK are in pole position to top their group to go straight to the All-Ireland football quarter-finals after hitting Donegal for three goals.

Denis Hurley and Barry O'Mahony join Éamonn Murphy to reflect on an inspirational victory and look ahead to their next match with Tyrone.

Can they use the result in Páirc Uí Rinn as a springboard towards Croke Park? What will happen if they fail to beat the Red Hand? Could the game on June 15-16 be a double-header with the hurling preliminary quarter-final? 

The fans made a difference in getting the better of the Ulster champions but crucial was the hard-running style that got them on board.

 

They also discuss the club scene in Cork and wonder if divisional teams are still worth their place in the championship after three teams withdrew in the last week.

Plus an update on the hurlers, who have a vested interest in the Joe McDonagh Cup and Leinster finals.
