MUNSTER UNDER-21 FC SEMI-FINAL Cork 0-21 Tipperary 2-3: CORK STRIPPED Tipperary of their Munster title with an impressive semi-final win at Páirc Uí Rinn last night. They dominated the first half but had only a three-point lead to show for their efforts at half-time, 0-10 to 2-1, accumulating eight wides in the process. Cork opened brightly, going 0-5 to 0-1 ahead, but Tipperary stunned them with a fine goal from Donagh Leahy in the 11th minute after good approach work by Also Matassa and Billy Hewitt.

Cork seized the initiative again, scoring four points without reply – Barry O’Driscoll scoring twice – only for Tipperary to grab a second goal after 27 minutes, David McGrath finishing well. But Cork pushed on again in the second half, hitting eight points in a row with man-of-the-match Mark Collins leading by example at centre forward and senior stars Aidan Walsh and Ciarán Sheehan also contributing significantly. The game was well over by the time substitute Liam Boland kicked Tipperary’s first point from play after 47 minutes.

Match Preview

Pairc Ui Rinn will be the venue on this Wednesday night for an eagerly awaited clash between the Cadbury Munster Under 21 Football champions of the last 2 seasons when Tipperary travel to play Cork. The defending champions Tipperary had a good win in the first round over Waterford and with roughly half of their 2010 champion selection still available for selection, they will be formidable opponents. Cork on the other hand will look to All-Ireland Senior stars Aidan Walsh and Ciaran Sheehan to lead their challenge in their first competitive outing of the year. Clashes between these counties at Minor and Under 21 have been close in recent years with the visiting team winning the last 3 underage meetings since 2009. All of those clashes were decided by 1 score and this game should be no different. Throw-in is at 7:30pm and Maurice Condon (Waterford) will be the referee.
