Waterford 1-12 Cork 0-9 

There haven’t been too many victories for Waterford over Cork since they were promoted to the senior ranks 11 years ago, so you can understand the elation in a bitterly cold Azzurri Walsh Park on Saturday when they saw off titleholders Cork in round 1 of the Centra National Camogie league Division 1A.
