Rebels weather storm for four in a row

Cork could probably have felt unfortunate to be leading by ‘only’ five points at half-time, 0-12 to 1-4, after dominating much of the first half. A goal from sub Colman Kennedy barely a minute after his entrance had helped to rise Tipp from their stupor, however, and things were to get even better for them upon the resumption.

While a point from a free from Michael Quinlivan was answered by a John Corkery score at the other end, Tipp then really got going. Midfielder Steven O’Brien was on hand to finish after good work from John McGrath and Greg Henry before O’Brien’s midfield partner, Colin O’Riordan, made it a one-point game.
