Conor Corbett pocketed 1-3 to help Cork to victory as Louth have it all to play for heading into the final round.
RESURGENT CORK CAME from three points down with just eight minutes to go to secure their third National Football League win on the trot, securing their Division 2 status for another season.
They will play Armagh in Round 7 and while safety isn’t a concern at this stage, Cork will chase another win to guarantee their place in this year’s race for the Sam Maguire Cup. With all of that in mind, he will have had mixed feelings about their first-half display which left Meath tied at half-time on 0-7 to Cork’s 1-4.
Brian Hurley, who later went off with an apparent injury, clipped a couple of points off his left foot despite being under pressure in a crowded area and Cork were good value for their lead. Meath had previously responded well to adversity throughout the campaign and once again conjured their strongest form when the need was greatest.
Cork scorers: Conor Corbett 1-3, Steven Sherlock 0-3 , Brian Hurley 0-2, Luke Fahy 0-2, Chris Og Jones 0-1, Brian O’Driscoll 0-1, Sean Powter 0-1, Matty Taylor 0-1, Mark Cronin 0-1.
