Rebels clash with Déise the pick of the bunch

THERE are a number of interesting games again this week. Offaly and Galway is a big one for both counties, Dublin and Kilkenny likewise, since both have lost twice; Tipp and Limerick is an interesting tie but only for the latter, and we all know why.

However the most important match of all this week, however, is the clash of Cork and Waterford in Walsh Park. A win for the Rebels and they’re almost home and dry and looking good to make the final, but a win for Waterford and it’s all wide open again.

In the last decade, some of the greatest games we’ve seen have been between Cork and Waterford, and I defy anyone to disagree with that.
