Cork finally up and running despite nervy finish against Waterford

This timely victory puts the Cork hurlers in a decent  position to secure a top-three spot and their place in next spring’s new seven-team elite.

CLASH: Cork's Shane Barrett is tackled by Waterford's Padraig Fitzgerald and Jack Prendergast during the Allianz HL Division 1A game at SuperValu Pairc Ui Chaoimh. 

Allianz HL Division 1: Cork 1-21 Waterford 1-19.

All the Cork buses have come at once. Two hours after the footballers secured a first league win of the season, at the fourth attempt, it was a case of third time right for the hurlers.
