Cork secured a convincing victory over Waterford in difficult January conditions, showcasing their strength and resilience.
Cork started 2025 with a convincing victory over Waterford in challenging January weather in Dungarvan. Declan Dalton's first-half goal, set up by Padraig Power, was a highlight. Two thousand spectators braved the wet, windy, and cold conditions to support former Waterford defender Brian Greene in his fight against cancer and Waterford Hospice. Cork fielded six players from their All-Ireland final team that lost to Clare in July.
With the wind at their backs, Pat Ryan's team surged to an eight-point lead after 16 minutes. Alan Connolly registered two points, while Robbie Cotter, Padraig Power, Ben Cunningham, Cormac O'Brien, and Ethan Twomey also found the target. Waterford finally scored with a Shane Bennett free on the 18th minute. Dalton then added a goal for Cork after a deft flick from Power. The Rebels almost added another, but Waterford's goalkeeper, Shaun O'Brien, saved from Brian Hayes. Captain Iarlaith Daly cleared off the line from Alan Connolly. Dalton added a 65 for Cork. Cunningham's second point extended Cork's lead to 12 points. Waterford managed a point through Reuben Halloran, set up by Sean Walsh, and another from Walsh himself. A Connolly free and a Patrick Collins save from Thomas Douglas in injury time gave Cork a 1-11 to 0-3 halftime lead. Cork made seven substitutions at the break. Shane Bennett scored three points for Waterford before Tom O'Connell was injured. Substitutes Shane Kingston and Jack Cahalane kept Cork's scoreboard ticking
