Dogged Déise pass tough Cork test
The throw-in was delayed by 15 minutes to admit a fine crowd of approximately 6,000, and they weren’t disappointed with the fare.
Waterford exploited the wind early yesterday, jumping into a three-point lead with Richie Foley (two frees) and Shane Walsh points in the opening three minutes. However, Cork settled, and with Donal Óg Cusack hitting low puck-outs into the breeze to his midfielders, Pa Cronin and Lorcan McLoughlin, the visitors began to dominate the centre.
