Cork wins against Louth, easing relegation fears
Cork footballers secured a vital win against Louth, easing their relegation concerns in Division 2. They won 1-23 to 0-18, moving to fifth place and two points clear of the drop zone. Cork dominated the match, leading 0-15 to 0-4 at halftime. They capitalized on Louth's kick-out struggles, winning nine of 15 first-half restarts.
