Cork, who were managed by future senior boss Brian Cuthbert had no link between the 2011 minors and Sunday’s team.

Cork managed to be on level terms at 1-7 apiece in the final in Killarney, but Tipp dominated the second half to run out convincing 3-11 to 1-9 winners and claim a first title since 1995, a team with Declan Browne in its ranks.

But, Dublin reckoned without Tipp’s never-say-die attitude and few could believe the drama which unfolded in the closing minutes.
