Power hopes Cats learned lesson in drawn game against Cork

KILKENNY manager Maurice Power is the first to admit that his side are extremely lucky to be contesting today’s All-Ireland IHC final replay against Cork at Semple Stadium, Thurles, (2.30pm).

Power’s side overturned a 13 point deficit in the drawn game a fortnight ago at the same venue to force today’s tie.

“We were dreadfully poor in the first half of the drawn game but produced a great fight-back. This was a tremendous achievement and it speaks volumes for the character of this team,” said Power.
