BRIAN TURNBULL SENT over one of the scores of the game during Cork’s Munster U20 hurling quarter-final win over Limerick last night.
The corner-forward hit four points in Páirc Uí Rinn with the pick of those arriving in the 22nd minute.
Chasing the ball near the sideline, Turnbull prevented it from going out of play with his hurley before nut-megging his marker Conor Flahive with a neat flick from his right boot.
It was Turnbull’s first championship game for Cork since the 2017 All-Ireland minor final.
The talented young forward was named Electric Ireland Minor Star Hurler of the Year at the end of 2017, notching 1-51 during an impressive campaign.
Turnbull tore his cruciate a week after the All-Ireland final defeat to Galway, which sidelined him for a lengthy period.
The Rebels ran out seven-point winners, setting up a semi-final showdown with Clare.

Cork will be favourites and that’s just the way we like it…fantastic day in chrocaigh yest….bannermen played their hearts out and deserve to be in the final..
People are very quick to forget that Clare have beaten cork three times already this year, fair enough they had the win at the Munster semi but we were poor that day and ever since then we’ve been improving in a massive way, it’ll be hard to call to be fair but no way do I see an easy cork win, it’ll be 50/50 but of course I’m hoping for a Clare win, hon the banner !!!
The manner in which he conducts himself on the side line is simply not on, I think he speaks so honestly when interviewed and he shoots up in my estimations, and then the next game he acts like a little B roaring and shouting abuse at everything and I hate him again. Its weird because I really admire him for what has achieved but I cant respect him for the way he acts.
Can’t see this Clare side now falling at the last hurdle…..
They have absolutely nothing to loose at this stage… Been written off in last 2 games and have destroyed their opposition….. While cork will be a formidable obstacle to overcome I have no doubt that God’s county will be victorious and capture hurling highest honour ……
Àn Clàr àbu!!!!!
Would love to see Clare do it, 2013 has been such a year of shocks it would be a fitting end to see the underdog win instead of an old power like Cork. Whatever happens though, hurling has been a joy to watch this summer!
Old power??
Yes Diarmuid old power. Cork are historically very successful in hurling (with nearly 30 titles I think?) but have only returned to prominence this year, Clare have 3 and are underdogs according to the bookies this morning
Cork just have to turn up on the 8th, 12 to15 points win for cork. The real all Ireland final was last week,
JBM can’t believe his luck after yesterday
I don’t know why people are saying cork will win handy, unless they’re up to divilment! Cute Clare feckers! This is a serious side in Clare and they have proved it at underage too! This is a 50/50 game! My in laws are Clare ppl so I personally can’t wait! Should be a great final and a serious clash of styles! Rebels Abu!
Great picture
