Crowley is injured again as Cork power past Tipp

Cork 3-14 Tipperary 0-7

And it was a victory that came with a price. Centre-forward Denis Crowley, hugely influential in everything he did, limped out of the game with what looked like a twisted ankle and there will be some concern in the Cork camp about his availability ahead of the final in 10 days time.

Tipperary came into the game with high hopes of their first victory over Cork since the 1995 final success in Killarney, but their cause wasn’t helped by the loss of centre-forward David Lyne with a knee injury after just 90 seconds.
