CORK HAVE BOOKED their place in the final of the Munster U20 football championship after Bryan Hayes kicked a late free to snatch a draw against Tipperary.
After losing heavily to Kerry last week, Cork went into the tie knowing that a draw would be enough to put them through to the decider against the Kingdom on Monday, 28 April. Hayes, who finished with four points, converted the last-gasp free to send Cork into the decider on scoring difference.

Tipperary made the stronger start to proceedings, with Daithí Hogan scoring in the opening minutes before Billy Tierney sent over a two-pointer.
Dylan O’Neill, who later went off with an injury, then slotted a crucial goal for Cork in the 13th minute as the sides exchanged scores to keep them at level pegging up to the 20th minute. Tipperary then opened up a two-point lead but it was Cork who lead at the break by one following a two-pointer from Hayes and an Aaron O’Sullivan score.
Cork kept their noses in front after the restart but Tipperary continued to press and Joe Higgins levelled matters with a two-pointer before Hogan edged the Premier County into the lead.
Hayes’s free at the death rescued Cork to secure their place in the final.
Meanwhile, Tomás Ó Sé’s Kerry — who are already in the Munster final after beating Cork and Tipperary — racked up a 3-23 to 0-11 scoreline against Clare. Killian Dennehy lifted their first green flag in the first minute of the game before Eddie Healy added their second just before the end of the first quarter. Tomás Kennedy supplied the third goal in the 21st minute to put 13 points clear and cruising to victory.
