Kilkenny back from the dead

Cork 2-11 Kilkenny 2-11

An equalising injury-time goal from left half-forward Brian Phelan denied Cork the laurels they always appeared to have in safe-keeping.

Phelan’s terrific life-saving 62nd minute strike climaxed a magnificent second-half comeback by a Kilkenny side that looked like being annihilated early on and seemed to be on a hiding to nothing when Cork opened up a massive 13-point lead after the restart.
