Derry gave their promotion chances a real boost by handing Cork their first defeat in Division Two with a 1-31 to 0-14 victory at Celtic Park.
The Oak Leafers are now top of the second tier on scoring difference heading into the final two games of the campaign with Louth (away) and Cavan (home) to come, while Cork host Kildare before travelling to face Tyrone.
Ciaran Meenagh's side played against the wind in the first half and trailed eight points to five midway through the half, with Steven Sherlock using the elements to land two monster two-pointers.
The Oak Leaf county started to take control of the Cork kick-out, winning eight across the half to drag themselves back into the contest, and led 1-10 to 0-9 at the break.
Their dominance was reinforced by winning four opposition restarts in a row before the hooter to score 1-3 without reply, with Conor Glass threading through the eye of the needle to find Lachlan Murray to blast to the net with the final action of the half.
Ruairi Deane opened the second half before Derry put the game to bed with 10 unanswered scores including a two-pointer from Niall Loughlin, with all six of the home forwards registering scores.
Cork went over 12 minutes without troubling the scoreboard before Dara Sheedy stopped the rot.
Shane McGuigan, who finished with 0-9, landed a two-pointer to add gloss to a fourth victory in a row for the home side.
