Cork ‘make most of the elements’ to blow Waterford away

Waterford 0-7 Cork 2-18: A blazing start to this McGrath Cup game was the foundation for Cork’s easy win over Waterford in the Gold Coast Resort, Ballinacourty.

On a freezing day in west Waterford, the 297 spectators were warmed by the Veale-Curry combination up front for the home side, but new Cork manager Ronan McCarthy was happy with his team’s brisk, positive beginning and eventual winning margin of 17 points.

“It was a good workout for us, and it was good to have a competitive match,” said McCarthy.
