THE CORK HURLERS followed up victory over the reigning All-Ireland champions last month with another serious statement of intent today.
Their five-point win over Waterford now sets up a first Munster senior final clash with Clare since 1999 – a season that ended with the Rebels’ captain Mark Landers hoisting the Liam MacCarthy at Croke Park.
They had a number of standout performers.
Patrick Horgan racked up 0-10, two of those from play, but RTE’s The Sunday Game decided against including him on their three-man shortlist.
Instead, they went with Seamus Harnedy (two points from play), fellow half-forward Conor Lehane (four points from play) and wing-back Mark Coleman.
And, in only his third Championship appearance, the vote went to the Blarney man.
