Just ‘a coincidence’ as Rebels concede run of late scores

CORK made it an unwelcome hat-trick on Wednesday night, when their U21 hurlers became the third team from the county in-a-row to concede a last-minute equalising goal after a 21-metre free.

On June 26, in the Munster minor hurling semi-final, Cork led Waterford deep in stoppage time by three points, but they conceded a late, late free.

From 20 metres out, at a difficult enough angle, Waterford’s star forward Pauric Mahony got the equalising goal that took the game into extra-time. Cork lost.
