Victory puts Waterford on track to end 40-year League famine

Waterford 0-14 Cork 0-13

A draw with Tipperary next weekend will assure Justin McCarthy’s charges a place in the final and if they perform with the same conviction then the sky’s the limit for a team that got some compensation for last season's Munster final defeat.

Few in the attendance of 10,113 would have plumped for a Waterford victory when they led by two points at half-time having played with the near gale-force wind.
