A Michael Cahalane goal in the 68th minute proved the difference as Cork claimed their first Munster win since 2014 with a thrilling win over Tipperary in front of a 30,013 crowd in Thurles, writes John Fogarty.

Against the odds, the All-Ireland champions lost their provincial crown as the visitors gave an exhibition of scoring in a game that was squared on 16 occasions before a Conor Lehane 65 put Cork one up in the 67th minute and substitute Cahalane worked his magic, stealing behind the Tipperary cover to beat Darren Gleeson. Dan McCormack and the excellent Michael Breen added points but Cork saw off the affair with scores from Luke O’Farrell and Seamus Harnedy to set up a semi-final against Waterford on June 11.
