Tipperary’s blistering second-half blast adds to Cork's woes

Tipperary produced a blistering second-half performance – Liam Cahill’s young charges outscored their opponents by 0-14 to 0-3 from the 33rd minute onwards — to send Cork packing from the Munster championship and, in the process, set up a final date with Limerick.

Cork, following three unanswered points from Evan Sheehan (0-2) and Jack O’Connor within as many minutes of the restart, were 1-12 to 0-9 clear and well on the road to a first Munster minor final since 2008.

Josh Beausang’s fortuitous goal on 28 minutes, arriving as it did off the back of a mistake in the Tipperary defence, had provided Cork with a shot of brio which was then added to by Sheehan’s interval introduction.
