Time runs out for rueful Cuthbert

TIME finally ran out on the comeback kings but there was some surprise that referee Michael Duffy didn’t add more than two minutes of injury time when Cork were making their customary late dash for the line.

The Rebels had broken the hearts of Tipperary, Kerry, Armagh and Galway with their refusal to accept defeat lightly and once again gave themselves a mountain to climb when falling 1-5 to 0-0 behind by the 20th minute.

Although they reduced that to four by half-time, the deficit was eight again with just six minutes remaining.
