Clifford the star as Cork race to emphatic victory over Waterford
The Newtownshandrum youngster was razor sharp in a Cork attack that struggled early on in the game, but eventually wore down the Waterford defence. It was a good start by the defending champions and there were a number of outstanding performers apart from Clifford.
Chris O’Donovan was superb at centre back and his lengthy clearances broke the hearts of a very weak Waterford forward line that failed to make any impression. Eoin McCarthy and Aylwin Kearney who was a late replacement also did well in defence.
