Rebels rising.
It's a new dawn for Cork's Gaelic footballers. After a chaotic league, Ronan McCarthy's outfit recovered to make the Super 8s while the county' s U20s secured a priceless victory over Kerry midweek to secure the Munster title.
On that wave of optimism, Cork landed into Croke Park to take on Tyrone. The Munster underdogs started with a bang as Luke Connolly shot past Niall Morgan within seconds of the throw-in.

And they weren't finished there.
Cork added a second first-half goal after a remarkably well-worked effort. From one end to the other, featuring an impressive 23 hand passes, Tyrone's blanket defence was unable to stop a deep-running James Loughrey.

Cork versus Tyrone is the first game of the day's HQ action. Dublin will take on Roscommon in the second tie.
