Three weeks ago Cork defeated Waterford in round 4 of the Electric Ireland Munster MHC by six points (1-21 to 1-15) in Páirc Uí Rinn. It ensured a perfect round-robin campaign for the Rebels, guaranteeing qualification for the final with a game to play.

Already-eliminated Tipperary were accounted for the following week in a dead-rubber encounter which meant Cork finished top of the table with four wins from four and a healthy scoring difference of +31.
