Could this be Waterford’s year?
The hurling wasn’t great in that game either but it was tight throughout, and Tony Browne’s last-minute goal brought us back to Thurles on Saturday evening for another epic.
At least there was an excuse this time for the inferior quality of the hurling with the greasy conditions making things very difficult. But again it went down to the wire. And this time it as Cork fighting for that last-gasp goal and they might have got it too were it not for the helmeted head of Browne halting Cathal Naughton’s fierce final-minute drive.
