Rebel goals rattle Tipp

CORK made it a hat-trick of titles by defeating Tipperary in a keenly contested ESB Munster MHC final at Thurles yesterday.

It was a victory that looked unlikely for 40 minutes when the Premier County led 1-12 to 0-10. But two smashing goals by the Leesiders turned the tie and broke Tipperary hearts.

It took Cork an age to stamp their authority, and it was only when they made two important substitutions that they eventually broke the Tipp challenge.
