Nicky English: Fireworks light the way forward for both Cork and Tipperary via IrishTimesSport
Although Gearóid O’Connor slotted in seamlessly on the frees, Forde would be a huge loss in the coming weeks. On the other side, Robbie O’Flynn, who was only just back for Cork, got injured in the act of scoring a goal. He too would be a serous loss.
But that was the end of that for nearly the entire remainder of the half and Cork were ultimately glad to get another in injury-time, however questionable the number of steps. They were very fortunate to go in just two points behind because of the amount of play Tipp had. They still can’t afford to be conceding as much as they are. In some respects it’s hard to understand why that is happening – unless the yellow cards for Cathal Barrett and Ronan Maher were an inhibiting influence in the later stages.
In the bigger picture, Limerick won’t get it easy against either of these teams and after two rounds, the champions are actually out of the top three because of Saturday’s draw and the head-to-head with Clare, whose stock I think has been enhanced by what we’ve seen since that disastrous spell against Tipperary on the opening weekend.was equally intense but for lower stakes. All either want is to get out of Leinster in third place. It was a competition within a competition.
