Cork eager to prove point to Decies

ALL-IRELAND SHC champions Cork are relishing their pairing with Munster kingpins Waterford in their first outing of next year's provincial championship.

"It's the All-Ireland champions against the Munster champions," said Cork chairman Jim Forbes yesterday.

"And a repeat of last year's Munster final, just to give it a little extra impetus. It's a big game with a big incentive for both counties. They might both feel they have something to prove from this year."
