AFTER the stunning heights they scaled last year in Páirc Uí Chaoimh, it seemed too much to hope for more memorable action when the Cork and Tipperary minor hurlers convened at the same venue for last night’s ESB Munster MHC quarter-final.

LAST June they played out a wondrous game of hurling in Páirc Uí Chaoimh that reached the dizzying scoring heights of 5-17 apiece and that is the backdrop which tonight this year’s Cork and Tipperary minor hurlers meet in the ESB Munster MHC quarter-final in the same venue at 6.30pm.
