Tell the truth: who expected this?

I was one of the many who would have liked to have seen one or two more changes to the Cork starting 15, but I did wonder if those players were out there, if Cork did in fact have anything better.

We know the answer to that one now, don’t we?

THE big question I’m going to ask here: who expected this? And I would include the Cork players and mentors, the Tipp players and mentors. Ten points – if anyone had told you beforehand that such was going to be the margin of victory, who would you have said was going to be the winner?
