A red wave looks like becoming a red tide.
Cork’s hurlers seem rightly on the up. Senior victory over Dublin by eight points not just delivered a last-four place but likewise franked serious success by rising talents. Cork stand as 2020 U20 All-Ireland champions and 2021 U20 Munster champions. The county’s Minors face a Munster final with Waterford on August 9. Things are swell, in all sorts of senses.
