Monday, 3 July 2017 22:53

The Cork Minor Hurlers are through to the Electric Ireland Munster Minor Championship after another battle with Tipperary.

After eighty minutes failed to separate the sides last Thursday night, the sides produced another entertaining game at Pairc Ui Rinn in front of an eight thousand strong crowd.

Early goals from Craig Hanafin and Liam O'Shea set the sides apart early on as the Rebels stormed into an eight point lead after just twelve minutes and by half time they were 2-11 to 0-10 clear.

The biggest lead in the game came on 42 minutes when Hanafin pointed to bring the advantage to eleven, but led by Darragh Woods on free-taking duties the Premier County continued to fight and with the help of goals from Cathal Bourke and Kevin McCarthy pulled it back to a one point game in injury time.

Again the Rebels rallied and made sure of their place in Sunday's Munster Final against Clare as they saw it out 2-22 to 2-19.
