Derek McGrath won’t want Waterford v Cork to become a shoot-out

Cork ran riot at times against Tipp but Waterford will question how much Tipp really tested them, writes Anthony Daly.

As soon as the draw was made for the 2012 championship, only one date was burned into our minds with Dublin: June 23 against Kilkenny in Portlaoise.

We had a quarter-final against Laois earlier that month but we had almost brainwashed ourselves so much that lads were using those four numbers, 23-06, as the password code on their phones and house alarms.
