Flashback: Kavanagh and Clifford led the Cork footballers in this 2000 victory

Almost 20 years ago to the day manager Larry Tompkins brought his Munster champions to Kilmallock, where the majority of the 7,000 supporters were willing on the men in green.

And Tompkins’s faith in his bench paid off in spades as substitutes Podsie O’Mahony and Kieran Daly fired in goals in a devastating two-minute burst to silence the crowd and deflate the home challenge.
