Cork make late dash to line against Waterford

Last year’s All-Ireland finalists arrived into Thurles early yesterday afternoon knowing their summer would not extend beyond 3.40pm. No matter what they did or did not produce here, a verdict had already been given on their 2018 campaign. That, however, is not to say they’d nothing to play for.
There was the not so small matter of this being Michael Brick Walsh’s final outing for Waterford, and the possibility of it also being Derek McGrath’s last as manager.
