Just as Cork stood ready to breast the tape, a late, late lunge for the line saw Tipperary snatch the verdict in this absorbing Munster U20 final.

A Jake Morris goal four minutes into second-half injury-time secured Tipperary a stunning Munster U20 final victory.

Having given an exhibition in fielding from the third minute onwards, it was somewhat fitting that Shane O’Regan should deliver the decisive score of this Munster U20 quarter-final.

At a time when “too many” competitions provide second and third chances, Cork U20 hurling manager Denis Ring has stressed the importance of the U20 championship retaining its knockout format.

Na Piarsiagh showed that they have every intent in holding onto their title after they swept aside South Liberties by 4-20 to 0-10 in Mungret.

Just when you thought this hurling summer could spoil us no more, the youngsters from Tipperary and Cork go and produce a most incredible finish to the last ever All-Ireland U21 final.

They are, of course, still hurting from the defeat to Limerick, but Denis Ring has been urging the senior panelists in his Cork U21 squad to use that pain to their advantage against Wexford in this afternoon’s All-Ireland semi-final against Wexford.

The lack of experience on the Cork bench is “nobody’s fault”, according to Tom Kenny, who believes an All-Ireland U21 title in the coming weeks would set up Cork perfectly for a crack at senior glory in 2019.

A few of the older patrons in the South Stand in Páirc Uí Chaoimh last night may remember the old Buddy Starcher classic ‘History Repeats Itself’. And, had they also been in Thurles last Sunday, the song must surely have resonated with them as this Munster U21 hurling semi-final unfolded.

An exhibition of free-taking from Brian Turnbull ended Cork’s 10-year wait for an All-Ireland minor final appearance, writes Eoghan Cormican.

The incentives for the Cork minor hurlers are many: To be the team that ends the county’s nine-year wait for a Munster final appearance at this level, to end the reign of the 2016 All-Ireland champions, to exact revenge for defeat by Tipperary at this hurdle last year, and to ensure there are two Cork teams at Semple Stadium on July 9.

A catalogue of missed chances allowed Wexford to hold on for their first championship win in two years, and end Limerick’s summer in the process.

The 2016 All-Ireland club champions Na Piarsaigh made their mark on round two of the group phase of the Limerick SHC with a 3-18 to 1-15 win over champions Patrickswell.
