Cork bid to end Premier’s reign

CHAMPIONS Tipperary, bidding for a third consecutive All-Ireland MHC title, face Cork in the Munster championship decider at the Gaelic Grounds tomorrow.

This will be the 26th meeting of the counties in the final, with Cork in front in the roll of honour by one, with 13 wins.

It’s their third final meeting in-a-row, with each side having won once, but significantly while Cork won the 2006 decider by eight points, Tipperary went onto win the All-Ireland after Galway dumped the Rebels out in the semi-final.
