Rebels' Gardiner set to miss Munster Final

Cork have suffered a major blow to their hopes of retaining the Munster hurling crown with the news that young star John Gardiner is set to miss the match.

Gardiner suffered a broken hand while training with Cork U-21s last night ahead of their Munster semi-final against Clare on Wednesday.

Cork play either Tipperary or Waterford in the Munster senior final in three weeks, June 27.
