DANIEL O'Mahony’s diving block kept Cork's season alive as the Rebels held on to eliminate Roscommon for the second time in three years.

A draw would have been good enough for the Rossies to pip Cork for third place in Group 2, but their chances ended when the full-back got his hands to Diarmuid Murtagh's outside-the-arc attempt.

The Rossies had five equalising attempts from two-pointers in the final stretch, but didn't convert any.

They bow out after four defeats, while the Rebels snapped their losing streak to secure a preliminary quarter-final away from home.

Both sides left a handful of goal chances behind them, with Micheál Aodh Martin's late save from Daire Cregg a crucial moment.
