Cork 0-25
Waterford 1-19
Denis Hurley reports from Mallow
LATE POINTS FROM subs Darragh Fitzgibbon, Shane Kingston and Alan Cadogan made it three wins from three for Cork in the Co-Op Superstores.ie Munster Hurling League as they saw off Waterford in Mallow tonight.
In an even game, the lead changed hands seven times in the second half alone. However, after sub Billy Nolan put the visitors 1-18 to 0-20 in front in the 65th minute, they would score only once more.
Patrick Horgan levelled for Cork with his 13th point before Daniel Kearney put them ahead with his fifth before the three replacements got in on the act, with Waterford’s sole response coming from Tom Devine.
It all means that the Rebels, who have a bye this coming weekend before their final game against Clare, are almost assured of a place in the final on the final weekend of January and they will take heart from the fact that they gave Waterford a head-start and still won.
Eamonn Murphy’s seventh-minute goal, when he pulled to the net from Devine’s handpass, made it 1-2 to 0-0 for the Déise and though Horgan got Cork off the mark straight after that, Waterford had three more points from Colm Roche and the Bennett brothers, Shane and Stephen, who would contribute 14 points between them.
A spree of Horgan frees got Cork back into contention, though, and by half-time they trailed by just one point, 1-10 to 0-12.
Robbie O’Flynn levelled on the resumption and though Murphy put Waterford ahead again, Cork responded with four in a row, two each from Horgan and Kearney.
From there to the end it was nip and tuck, but Cork had the stronger finish.
Scorers for Cork: Patrick Horgan 0-13 (0-9 frees), Daniel Kearney 0-5, Robbie O’Flynn 0-2, Dean Brosnan, Luke Meade, Darragh Fitzgibbon, Shane Kingston, Alan Cadogan 0-1 each.
Scorers for Waterford: Shane Bennett 0-9 (0-8 frees), Stephen Bennett 0-5, Eamonn Murphy 1-1, Billy O’Keeffe, Tom Devine, Billy Nolan, Colm Roche 0-1 each.

Load of twaddle if he is so good play him more. Total lip service
@Seanie Bourke: it’s called man management ya cl0wn
@Paul Jennings: it’s not man management. he gets game time here and there because In klopps eyes the other 4 are better then him. he has scored some v important goals for Liverpool but will eventually get fed up and will want more active game time and move on.
@Macca1986: precisely the definition of man management, he gets used when needed because there are better players ahead of him. But he gets credit when he gets in and delivers, so he stays and is a useful squad member when called upon….
@Macca1986: it’s total man management he is needed as back up so when he playes well u praise in to keep him happy all managers do it
@Paul Jennings: hate to say it but Ur the c!own,big time
@Paul Jennings: no bucko it not . He comes out and says” im shocked no one came in for him in d summer’ thats as good as saying he can go. But in the other breath he is coming out about his next manager total cr ap very much like your comment to me
@Seanie Bourke: That’s not man management. He is encouraging him to go by saying he needs to get more game time. Klopp is clearly desperate to sell him
@Seanie Bourke: it’s OK for us to comment that’s why klopp is the manager and a good 1 at that too
@Seanie Bourke: it’s the truth. Origi isn’t as good as the other 4 so doesn’t play that often. Klopp is showing respect by saying he deserves to play more in general… It just won’t be at Liverpool.
@Paul Jennings: No, it’s called ” talking out of the two sides of his mouth”. B…….t talk.
@Mickety Dee: Everton will buy him for £50million, and that will be the last we hear of him…
This is Divock Origi’s World and we’re just living in it
He’s welcome at Elland Road at any stage, quality player.
Another runners-up medal for the lad before he leaves. 7 minutes they spent on top and yet they think its May
@Graham Ryall: yes another runners up medal to add to the prem league one, the champs league one, the super cup one and the fifa World Cup ones that he won with LFC. Sorry those ones aren’t runners up ones. Not a bad haul at LFC. And you are right the seasons far from over but if you think LFC aren’t contenders then maybe stick a few quid on Newcastle to top the prem league come end of season! Money for jam son.
@Graham Ryall: only a United w@nk would say thay
@Graham Ryall: Man u supporter I guess
@Graham Ryall: what a t00ser!go and get an education
@Graham Ryall: your whinging and tears bring me joy. Understandable though, given that we cleared out your own stadium for yas. Lol.
Hes another Solksjaer only not as good and he(Ole) was quite happy being a squad player…
If you’re picking up handy money and winning Medals then you’re more than likely going to stay put.. Origi is exactly that
@Darren: bit of a premature comparison
@Johnny Mads: how he’s hardly anywhere near Oles level now??
@Johnny Mads: it’s a fine comparison in terms of their value to a team. Impact subs. Very important CL goals. I don’t think Ole get half the plaudits he gets from utd fans without the 99 final. Divock had a very similar season in CL.
@Darren: I’d say it’s a safe bet that Origi is a better manager than Ole!
@Max Bailey: bit of a premature comparison there, Ole done what he had to do and steadied the Ship, just like some relationships it ran its course. Origi is almost a super sub but he’s a bit to go yet to get near Oles level for scoring goals off the Bench and just like Ole makes very little difference when he actually starts a game..
That is some statement from that Manager — talking out of both sides of his mouth . ” one of the best strikers I ever seen”" — but he cannot get into the team, only now and again. What kind of nonsense is he talking???.
@Eugene Comaskey: What Klopp actually said was he’s one of the best ‘finishers’ not ‘striker’…two very different things. And Origi can’t get into the team because there’s four of the best strikers in the world ahead of him, pretty simple really.
