Cork 0-1 Tipperary 0-0
1 mins – First blood to Cork, neat point by Alan Cadogan.

Shane O’Neill is marking Seamus Callanan while at the other end it’s Cathal Barrett on Patrick Horgan while James Barry is policing Cadogan.

Patrick Bonner Maher gets his first sight of goal but Cork crowd him out and the ball rolls wide.

What a goal by Seamus Callanan!

Tipperary 1-0 Cork 0-1
6 mins – Callanan unleashes a bullet to the corner after Shane O’Neill misses Shane McGrath’s cross. The Drom-Inch man stepped inside and picked his spot to score past Anthony Nash.

7 mins – James Woodlock pops up with a point as Tipperary build on that goal.

Tipperary 1-2 Cork 0-1

Callanan causes Cork trouble once more as he fields a high ball but after offloading to Lar Corbett, the resultant shot flies wide.

Wides starting to mount for Cork as Horgan, Cooper and Harnedy all off target from play.

Tipperary 1-7 Cork 0-8
33 mins – Tipp aren’t happy with a free being awarded against them for a foul on Harnedy but Cork move on with Horgan notching the free.

That looks poor refereeing there. Cork fortunate to get the free earlier but Horgan was certainly fouled there and a free out was awarded for over carrying.
