Denis Walsh’s life, so many ways, has been a weave of Cork and Waterford.

Late points from Stephen O’Reilly and Shane Crowley edged Duhallow into the fourth round of the Cork SHC, with a 1-20 to 1-18 win over Bride Rovers at Páirc Uí Rinn today.

Cork have named an unchanged team for this evening's Munster MHC semi-final replay against Tipperary at Páirc Uí Rinn (7.30pm).

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.

The Cork minor hurling side for tomorrow night’s Electric Ireland Munster MHC semi-final play-off against Waterford includes three members of the side which won provincial U17 honours last week.

Fr O’Neill’s 1-18 Kildorrery 1-14: Driven on by a man-of-the-match display from Declan Dalton, Fr O’Neill’s were crowned Cork IHC champions in Páirc Uí Rinn yesterday.

Cork Reds 1-14 Cork Whites 1-5

He’ll stay strictly professional, save maybe the odd colourful remark, but at least one Kerry voice in Killarney tomorrow will be shouting for Cork. And it’s a very familiar voice to Cork radio listeners. C103 match commentator and raconteur Paudie Palmer.

Cork County Board favours the possible introduction of “a second competition” for weaker counties in the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship after their participation at provincial level has come to an end.

Kildorrery 1-16 Kinsale 0-9: Kildorrery cruised into the fourth round of the Cork IFC after a resounding victory over Kinsale at foggy Caherlag on Saturday evening.

LIMERICK 2-7 CORK 2-15: Little in the way of surprise at the Gaelic Grounds as Cork eased to an eight-point Electric Ireland Munster MFC win over Limerick.

Cork IFC

TONIGHT

The lot of a county intermediate manager can be a trying one.

Limerick manager TJ Ryan will pick from a full panel for Sunday week’s Munster SHC clash with Tipperary, with Declan Hannon, Seamus Hickey and David Breen all available for selection.

Mitchelstown go into tonight’s Cork IFC clash with Billy Morgan in their corner, but with a big task ahead of them against their rural neighbours, Kildorrery.
