Five Things We Found Out

As well as representing the first meeting of Cork and Tipperary in Croke Park, Sunday is an historic day in that it will mean all five of the traditional Munster hurling counties will have met in the All-Ireland series (i.e. from the quarter-finals on, as opposed to the qualifiers).

Goalkeepers are a rare breed, hurling No 1’s especially. Diarmuid O’Flynn met two legendary netminders from Cork and Tipperary ahead of tomorrow’s provincial semi final at Páirc Uí Chaoimh.
