Tipp stop the rot as Cork leave it too late

Tipperary 1-16 Cork 1-13

The win gives Tipperary their second title in a row, but more importantly puts an end to a bad run of defeats at the hands of their arch rivals in this year's championships.

The result was about right, but it might have all so different had John Gardiner been fit to play. He cried off with a serious hand injury which could keep him out of the All-Ireland SHC semi-final against Wexford in 11 days time.
