Power: Everything Cork is touching is turning to hurling gold

Waterford’s All-Ireland U21 winning manager Sean Power isn’t the least bit surprised that Cork are once again the talk of the hurling world.

The Cork U21s travel to Walsh Park tomorrow evening for a Munster semi-final meeting with the reigning All-Ireland champions and such is the buzz surrounding Cork hurling, that a crowd in excess of 8,000 is expected.

The Cork minors bridged a nine-year gap to the county’s last provincial success at that grade on Sunday, while John Meyler’s U21s are attempting to end a 10-year wait for Munster U21 honours.
