Cork bid to turn tables in glamour showdown

WHEN the new format for the minor championships was introduced, it was inevitable that two counties from the same province would contest the All-Ireland final.

Tipperary and Cork make history in tomorrow’s Croke Park decider — their second showdown of the year.

To add a bit more spice to a glamorous final, Cork beat Tipperary in last year’s Munster minor final but the Premier County went on to take the All-Ireland. This year Tipp are provincial champions at Cork’s expense, and the Leesiders are hoping that history can repeat itself tomorrow.
