Waterford in wonderland as Cork fold

Waterford 1-13 Cork 2-8

Outplayed for most of the first half, Waterford put in a storming second period. However, they had a huge let-off when Cork forward Conrad Murphy was left with only the keeper to beat but shot wide from five metres.

This game had everything, including three penalties and two misses, but there was no denying Waterford deserved their victory. They looked the hungrier side, chased and harassed Cork at every opportunity and in Billy Harty, Edmund Rockett, Sean Dempsey, Michael Walsh and Niall Hennessy they had a quintet of players who would hold their own in any company.
