Galway 0-21 .Cork 1-9
This was a most disappointing performance from a Cork team that showed quality in their one-point victory over Limerick in the first round quali fier. However in a year that saw them lose to Waterford and now to Galway, it will be a case of re-grouping for next year's championship.
