Cork beat Waterford to blow Munster SHC wide open (RTE.ie)

Cork roared back into Munster Hurling Championship contention thanks to a win that was even more commanding than their six-point margin of victory ...

While Waterford had shown enough in the first half to suggest they could turn the tide after the interval, Cork had other ideas entirely. Lehane and Curran (after much deliberation) traded points in the 66th and 68th minutes and when Shane Bennett found his range with just a minute of normal time remaining, the hosts still had a sniff. The next score felt like it would prove critical and so it did, as Alan Connolly, played in by Harnedy following a sweeping upfield move, goaled for the second time to leave Cork four clear. But Waterford recovered well and were back in front by the 27th minute thanks to a goal from Michael Kiely following excellent approach play by Dessie Hutchinson and Patrick Curran. But Cork roared back into contention to lead by 1-6 to six points by the 22nd minute, with Alan Connolly reacting well to Shaun O’Brien’s save to find the net following assistance from Darragh Fitzgibbon and Robbie O’Flynn. With the breeze in their favour in front of a 10,986-strong gate, Cork held a slender 1-12 to 1-11 advantage following a first half which ebbed and flowed in either direction.
