Galway are also still in the hunt for a place in the final thanks to another inspiring win. They went to Waterford and claimed a 0-10 to 0-5 victory.
“We have to keep steady heads now and just keep pushing on. We are always thinking about the next game and forgetting about what we have just done,” said Galway vice-captain Leanne Coen.
“For us it’s about us continuing to go forward and focusing on a tough game against Mayo next. That’s always tough so we will refocus and go again.”
Cork were the biggest winners of the weekend as Shane Ronayne’s side beat Donegal 5-11 to 0-1 in Mallow. Libby Coppinger scored 2-2 for the winners as their season picks up speed.
“We had to concentrate on ourselves, we played very well in spurts and we are very happy to get game time into more players again,” said Ronayne.
“Young and not so young players making their debuts and one or two coming back from small knocks. The likes of Ellen Twomey who got a point at the end it’s great for her and it’s the first opportunity in the league for some.”
