Cork chasing four-in-row against experienced Premier side

CORK bid for their fourth consecutive Munster MHC title against All-Ireland champions, Tipperary, in tomorrow’s final at Semple Stadium (2pm).

Both sides enjoyed easy passage to the decider. Cork thrashed Waterford before beating Clare by nine points in the semi-final. Tipperary were comfortable winners over Clare in their opening game before inflicting an 18-point defeat on Limerick in the penultimate round.

Cork boss Don Cronin is impressed by the All-Ireland champions: “They are a very experienced team with some outstanding individuals. Noel McGrath and Shane Hennessy are two serious players who will move onto greater things. They are both going to cause a lot of problems. It’s a huge ask but we can take inspiration from what our footballers achieved against a highly-rated Kerry team last Sunday.
