THE dream of a second consecutive hurling Grand Slam for Kilkenny died an early death in Fraher Field, Dungarvan, on Saturday.

THERE was a lot of extra responsibility resting on the shoulders of the Cork intermediate team in the lead-up to this All-Ireland final, and not just within the county.

IT’S been a mutually beneficial relationship. Since Anthony Nash first stood between the posts for the Cork intermediate hurlers in 2003, he’s given the grade unwavering focus. In return he’s picked up three All-Ireland medals – in 2003, 2004 and 2006 – and even though he’s played in bigger matches since, his interest in this afternoon’s All-Ireland IHC final is undiluted.

CORK’s intermediate hurlers maintained the season theme of winning with plenty to spare in Saturday’s All-Ireland IHC semi-final in Portlaoise.

MAYO manager John O’Mahony is to give injured full-forward Barry Moran every chance to be fit to line out in Sunday’s last All-Ireland football quarter-final clash with Meath.

CORK boss Johnny Keane has made two changes for tonight’s Munster IHC decider against Waterford (Páirc Uí Chaoimh, throw-in 7.30pm).

JOHN GARDINER last night admitted that Cork are aware that people want them to fail following their winter stand-off, as they prepare for Sunday’s Munster SHC quarter-final against Tipperary.

IN JANUARY 2007, Johnny Keane embarked on the 80 mile round trip from his home in Liscarroll to Dripsey, where he had become the club’s hurling coach.

IT came late, very late, but big Mark O’Sullivan’s 59th minute goal was crucial as Dripsey saw off stubborn Carrignavar to reach their first Evening Echo Cork Co JHC decider in their short history under lights at Páirc Uí Rinn on Saturday.

JOHN Allen and Billy Morgan were officially re-appointed as coaches to the Cork senior hurling and football teams at last night’s meeting of the County Board.

KILKENNY manager Maurice Power was the first to acknowledge the tremendous resilience and courage of his side who dramatically denied Cork victory in yesterday’s drawn extravaganza.

CORK coach Johnny Keane yesterday outlined the magnitude of the task confronting his charges in tomorrow’s All-Ireland IHC final clash with Kilkenny at Semple Stadium, Thurles.
