Waterford’s big guns turn tide to sink Rebels

CORK made the perfect start to this competitive senior hurling tournament game in Clashmore last night — but it was Waterford’s powerhouse finish that ensured them the perfect result.

Despite the poor weather there was a very big attendance to mark the official opening of the magnificent new clubhouse, jointly performed by GAA president Christy Cooney and former president Sean Kelly.

Cork got off to a flyer with Michael Cussen going through for a goal of sublime quality inside 40 seconds. It was to be the start of a top-class display by the rangy corner-forward who was easily his side’s most threatening attacker throughout.
