Semple’s Star Wars sequel
Until then, enjoy this as the great rivalry it is, with yesterday’s Guinness Munster SHC semi-final the latest exchange between these two great latter-day rivals, and shame if you didn’t travel. Even the sun nudged the clouds aside - clearly nobody wants to miss these two.
You could dust down most of last year’s eulogy and apply it to this game, though there was a significant difference as the credits rolled. As is now obligatory in these clashes, the game stayed live until the final whistle. Paul Flynn’s late, lofted free gave Cork’s three-point lead a shake, but a point wasn’t enough. If it didn’t hit the operatic heights of last year - there was a second-half lull - then there was still enough to flesh out the bones of legend for years to come.
