Why such short odds on Cork?

LAST weekend, and not for the first time this year, you’d have to say the football outshone the hurling, big-time – a bad Leinster final in Croke Park.

Let’s hope that changes this weekend, and in the Munster final at least, there’s a good chance of that, the most entertaining pairing of the past 10 years, two good attacking teams.

The crucial difference between Cork and Waterford over that period is that Cork have gone on to win a couple of All-Irelands, while Waterford have failed at the final hurdles.
