Rebels edge out Déise in thrilling decider

JUST what is it about Cork and Waterford when they engage in hurling championship battle?

The great rivals served up another compelling game in last night’s Munster intermediate final at Fraher Field, Dungarvan, with Cork coming with a magnificent late surge to erase a seemingly decisive Waterford lead and fashion a thrilling and deserved victory at the death.

Nearly 3,000 fans revelled in the drama of those exhilarating closing stages, and extra-time loomed when the sides were deadlocked on the scoreboard with just 90 seconds of normal time remaining.
