UL 2-30 WIT 1-20

A VERITABLE goal-fest of an All-Ireland minor semi-final but a game won with consummate ease by Dublin who now face Galway in next month’s final, their first in 28 years.

DESERVING winners though Waterford were, it bordered on travesty that there had to be a loser in this pulsating Munster minor hurling championship semi-final that enthralled 3,208 fans at Walsh Park on Saturday.

IT MAY not have quite measured up to their classic drawn game at Páirc Uí Chaoimh, but Waterford and Cork still served up another compelling hour’s hurling in an action-packed Munster minor hurling championship semi-final replay before 4,000 at Walsh Park last night.

NOT all had the shock of dark hair — and far fewer had the imposing stature of the Big Fella.
