Rebels’ late blast rocks Tipp

A POINT by Stephen Moylan two minutes into injury time gave Cork a dramatic victory over Tipperary in a hugely-entertaining Erin Munster Under-21 Hurling Championship first round tie at Páirc Uí Chaoimh last night.

It looked an unlikely result with 10 minutes to go, with the defending champions seven points in front. However, the home side put in a storming finish to leave Tipperary shell-shocked.

Cork had many heroes but centre-back Eoin Cadogan was majestic in the pivotal position. Displaying incredible heart and commitment, he regularly broke up Tipp attacks and he capped a magnificent night with a superb long-range point in the second half.
