CORK 4-21 WATERFORD 1-4 The Cork Minor team qualified with ease for the Munster final last Saturday, when they destroyed Waterford in Ballyduff. Cork as is widely known are the current All-Ireland champions at this level and undoubtedly in the running for the title again this year. The Rebels started the better with a point from Tara Galvin and soon after Laura OMahoney blasted home Corks first goal. Waterford however awoke and slotted home 1-2 without reply. But Cork were never in doubt and settled there after with some superb link play. Scores were easy to come by as the Waterford backs slumbered, leaving the score line 3-11 1-2 at the half. Corks defence was good considering they had little to do and only allowed the Deise notch two points in the second. The dual players were substituted throughout and those who came in put the icing on the cake. Remarkably sixteen players got their names on the score sheet as Cork fired home 1-10 in the second to ensure a place in the Munster final. Scorers for Cork: L OMahoney 2-1, G OFlynn 0-6 (0-2frees), K Richards 1-3, M ONeill 1-2, C ODonoughue, N Keohane, B Stack, E ORiordan, C Foley, L Power, T Galvin, S Burns and R Buckley (0-2 each), B Corkery, M Murphy, and A O Sullivan (0-1 each). Subs: K Richards for S Burns, C O Connell for C Foley, C Walsh for E O Riordan, C O Sullivan for R Buckley and A Dempsey for M O Neill. Munster Under-14 Championship CORK 7-20 TIPPERARY 0-3 The Cork U-14 team eased their way passed Tipperary in the third round of the Munster championship in Erins Own last Saturday. Aided with the breeze, Cork settled immediately and the slaughter began. Great passage of play among the forwards saw them notch 3-12 0-1 before halftime. At midfield Ashling Thompson and Ciara McGrath drove forward and created many problems for the Tipp defence. Defensively Cork played well however gave away a penalty which was initially denied by Cork goalie Christine Lehane and deflected over the bar. Cork finished 7-17 in front and should be confident of a place in the final. Scorers for Cork: M ORiordan 2-1, C OCallaghan 1-4, K Sheehan 1-3, R Buckley and G Kearney 1-1 each, C Lucey 1-0, C McGrath 0-3, V Hallahan 0-2, E Ahern, M OCallaghan, A Thompson, C OSullivan, A ODonavan and J Russell 0-1 each.
