Cussen bags a brace as Cork come good in second half

Cork 5-14 Tipperary 0-24

The game was arranged to coincide with the official opening of the local club’s magnificent complex and the huge crowd got plenty value for money.

Both team managements expressed satisfaction at the outcome, albeit for different reasons. Cork’s selector Sean McGrath said it was an excellent workout for his side with a number of players staking a claim for inclusion for the upcoming championship semi-final at the end of next month.
