Cork opened their TG4 All-Ireland campaign with a decisive victory when they struck for six goals against Laois at Laois Hire O’Moore Park.

Cork got on top from the outset, proving successful in finding gaps in the Laois defence and securing 1-4 in the opening ten minutes. A Katie Quirke free opened the scoring followed by Sadbh McGoldrick raising the white flag and Emma Cleary pointing two in a row. Cork were awarded a penalty when an Eimear Barry pass went astray and was collected by Ava McAuliffe who was brought down in the square and Daire Kiely stepped up and found the back of the net.
