All the goals came in a cracking first half as the Cork AUL came from two down to pip Dublin AUL 3-1 at Turners Cross in the annual challenge for the Tayto Cup. The visitors took the lead in the 8th minute when Mark Ray blasted past keeper Pakie Murphy from 12 yards. They made it 2-0 on the half hour mark when Ray's cross was spectacularly volleyed home by Michael Ralph.

Two minutes later, Cork got back into the game when Mick McAuliffe's cool finish off a pass by skipper Mick Walsh opened their account. They equalised in the 35th minute. Then Paul Coughlan's shot was parried and McAuliffe struck again.  In the very next minute, Willie McCann's cross into the Dublin box led to a mix-up and an own goal resulted. Cork were in front, to stay

Dublin subs gave them an edge in the third quarter but couldn't find a goal. Barry Dennehy went close for the home side who were then grateful to see sub keeper Finbarr McNulty save a stinging David Farrell shot towards the end.
