Resilient Rebels get the timing spot on

A game which began and ended with the ball crashing off the woodwork saw Cork take this All-Ireland quarter-final with a driving finish and a late flurry of points.

Waterford almost snatched a draw when a late, late 65 struck the post and bounced invitingly in the Cork square before being cleared.

“At three points down in the 60th minute it didn’t look great for us,” said Cork manager Jimmy Barry-Murphy after the game.
