The above scoreline represents the maintenance of Cork’s winning start under Ben O’Connor and extension of a nine-game unbeaten run on home sod. Where Tipp had the greater spread of scorers, Cork had the greater number of standout performers. Alan Connolly is another who wouldn’t hold fond memories of his contribution on the concluding Sunday of the ‘25 championship. Scorers for Cork: A Connolly (0-8, 0-4 frees); D Fitzgibbon (0-7, 0-1 free); D Healy, W Buckley (0-3 each); E Downey, M Coleman, S Barrett (0-2 each); B Hayes, T O’Mahony (0-1 each). CORK: P Collins; G Millerick, D O’Leary, S O’Donoghue; E Downey, R Downey, M Coleman; M Mullins, E Twomey; D Fitzgibbon, S Barrett, D Healy; D Dalton, A Connolly, W Buckley.
