Ghost goal & wides tally haunt Cork U20 Hurlers
oneills.com Munster U20 Hurling Championship final
TIPPERARY 1-19 CORK 0-21
By Stephen Barry, TUS Gaelic Grounds
An outrageous Darragh McCarthy winning point saw Tipperary snatch a dramatic Munster U20 hurling title from Cork and advance to an All-Ireland final against Offaly.
The sides were level an 11th time with William Buckley’s free in the fourth and final minute of added time but in the few remaining seconds, the Toomevara star’s 10th point proved the difference.
It denies the reigning champions an All-Ireland final rematch with Offaly, with Tipp instead marching into next Saturday’s decider at Nowlan Park. The Premier also draw level with Cork on top of the Munster U20 hurling roll of honour with 22 titles.
Tipp entered without the injured Paddy McCormack as Ciarán Foley got a first start in the no.14 jersey, while midfielder Timmy Wilk did the same after proving his form and fitness for Cork.
A cagey first half was level seven times before Tipp headed down the tunnel 0-10 to 0-9 in front, with Foley their key scorer from play.
He finished off fine high catches by Conor Martin and Oisín O’Donoghue before adding a third that originated from an Aaron O’Halloran hook at the other end.
Their midfield pairing was effective with Adam Daly sitting back to hold dangerman Buckley scoreless until the second half while twice teeing up Sam O’Farrell for points.
Cork had Jack Leahy in fine form and he ended the half with 0-6, including two from play, while Diarmuid Healy added two more.
A four-point run took them 0-9 to 0-7 ahead but they wouldn’t score in the final 10 minutes, with captain Ben Currivan blocking a Healy shot at goal from a quickly-taken 21-yard free.
Instead, Tipp reeled off three in a row, including two McCarthy frees, to lead into the break.
Buckley began the second half with the opening score before a monster effort from dual star Hugh O’Connor edged Cork ahead.
Tipp jumped back into the ascendancy with a 1-3 burst, highlighted by a 39th-minute goal from O’Donoghue after McCarthy robbed Cillian Tobin and Senan Butler laid on the final pass. 1-14 to 0-12.
Cork had more goal chances but O’Halloran blocked from Mikey Finn and Hogan tipped over Healy’s dipping attempt. The keeper got away with the next one after Buckley’s ball in appeared to cross the line but the umpires deemed it had not and Ben Walsh couldn’t force it past O’Halloran.
Cork’s injection of pace from the bench began to wear down Tipp as they reeled off four in a row, with corner-back Darragh O’Sullivan pushing forward for a brace to cut the gap to one.
They were left to count the cost of 16 wides, including 11 in the second half alone.
McCarthy won three frees and converted each to keep Tipp just ahead until two points from sub Ross O’Sullivan and Buckley’s free levelled. But McCarthy’s magic separated them in the end.
Scorers for Tipperary: Darragh McCarthy 0-10 (6f, 1 65); Oisín O’Donoghue 1-2; Sam O’Farrell, Ciarán Foley 0-3 each; Senan Butler 0-1.
Scorers for Cork: Jack Leahy 0-6 (4f); Diarmuid Healy, William Buckley (1f) 0-3 each; Darragh O’Sullivan, Ross O’Sullivan 0-2 each; Ben Walsh, Mikey Finn, Timmy Wilk, Hugh O’Connor, Barry Walsh 0-1 each.

Munster Senior Hurling Championship
CORK 4-30 TIPPERARY 1-21
By Shane Brophy at FBD Semple Stadium
Cork backed up their impressive victory over Limerick has they handed an eighteen point beating to great rivals Tipperary to keep their Munster Championship hopes alive on Sunday.
Full forward Alan Connolly scored a hat-trick as they outscored Tipp 3-15 to 0-9 in the second half to stay in the hunt to qualify for the All-Ireland series.
Their win came despite the home side getting off to the perfect start with Mark Kehoe goaling after just eighteen seconds after Conor Bowe’s incision opened up the Cork defence.
Cork’s response was impressive through, led by Darragh Fitzgibbon, as the sides went point for point for much of the first half in sweltering conditions.
Tipp were almost in for a second goal when Mark Kehoe was fouled just outside the square, but the referee adjudged it wasn’t a black-card penalty with Jason Forde converting the free.
Cork’s mobility was already causing problems with Patrick Horgan (2), Shane Barrett (2) and Alan Connolly on target before Barrett nudged the visit into a tenth minute lead.
Gearoid O’Connor and Darragh Stakelum added their names to the Tipp scoresheet, but Cork were always moving better with Darragh Fitzgibbon and Declan Dalton nudging them 0-12 to 1-7 ahead on twenty minutes.
Under pressure, Tipp responded with three points in a row from Noel McGrath, Forde, and Alan Tynan to retake the lead and they went two clear on thirty minutes following a superb Jake Morris score, his second.
Shortly after, a collision between Ronan Maher and Ethan Twomey saw both forced off for treatment and the loss of the Tipp centre-back was keenly felt as Seamus Harnedy and Brian Hayes pointed before Alan Connolly buried a shot to the roof of the net right on half time for a 1-15 to 1-12 lead.
The sides traded the opening four scores of the second half to suggest the game would remain tight but a mistake from a short puckout led to Alan Connolly scoring his second goal on 41 minutes.
Tipp responded well with points from Ronan Maher (free) and Conor Bowe but Connolly’s hat-trick goal on 47 minutes following a flowing handpassing move through the middle broke Tipp’s spirit.
From there on it was a procession with sub Shane Kingston landing four points in succession not long after coming on with Patrick Horgan putting the tin hat on the win with Cork’s fourth goal on 61 minutes.
Scorers for Cork: Patrick Horgan 1-9 (0-5 frees); Alan Connolly 3-1; Shane Kingston 0-4; Darragh Fitzgibbon, Seamus Harnedy 0-3 each; Brian Hayes, Robert Downey, Shane Barrett 0-2 each; Niall O’Leary, Declan Dalton, Luke Meade, Conor Lehane 0-1 each.
Scorers for Tipperary: Jason Forde 0-5 (3 frees); Jake Morris, John McGrath (frees) 0-3 each; Mark Kehoe 1-0; Gearoid O’Connor, Noel McGrath, Darragh Stakelum 0-2 each; Ronan Maher (free), Conor Bowe, Alan Tynan, Sean Hayes 0-1 each.
