Skipper Murphy set for another tactical battle

CORK hurling captain Kieran ‘Fraggy’ Murphy says “over the last few years fellas were used to a free-flowing games between Cork and Waterford, but on Sunday it was a lot tighter, a lot more tactical around the middle of the field. Players were finding it hard to get a bit of space — that was true of both teams.”

Murphy didn’t see Cork’s two second-half goals as sufficient to see the Leesiders home.

“When you’ve so much time left on the clock, particularly in hurling, being ahead by a few points doesn’t mean a whole lot because one goal can bring a team right back into a game.
