The fifth running of the event saw Cork forced to work with largely an U21 panel with only Cormac Murphy, Conor Lehane and Daniel Kearney having championship experience. A totally different side will take to the field against Kerry in the Munster SHL tomorrow.

UCC, with the Fitzgibbon Cup just around the corner, were sharper, even without notable players like Michael Breen.
