The Echo Sport Podcast: Incredible weekend for Cork GAA faithful

THE CORK hurlers proved the victory over Limerick was no fluke by demolishing Tipperary on their own turf.

Denis Hurley and Barry O'Mahony join Éamonn Murphy to look back at a terrific trip to Tipp, where one of the biggest Cork crowds that ever descended on Thurles saw Pat Ryan's side at their absolute best.

Alan Connolly's hat-trick grabbed the headlines, his third this season, but even better Mark Coleman was back to his best and defensively Cork were well-structured and coped well with the concession of an early goal.

But will it all be for nothing? They go through the best and worst-case scenario for the Rebels in the last round of Munster Hurling Championship fixtures.

It was a terrific weekend overall, with the U20s snatching a Munster semi-final win late on away to Clare, the footballers getting off to a winning start in the Sam Maguire series in Ennis and the Cork camogie team securing the provincial title.
