CORK minor football boss Brian Cuthbert takes his side into championship action for the first time tonight when they face Clare in the Munster MFC quarter-final in Cusack Park at 6.30pm after experiencing mixed news on the injury front.

Attacking duo Daniel Fitzgerald (hamstring) and Kevin Hallissey (shoulder) are both ruled out of the equation, but Castlehaven's Damien Cahalane has recovered to start at midfield. Cahalane has been dogged with finger and leg injuries recently which threatened his participation but they have responded well to treatment is available.

Cork's side is anchored in defence by Sean O'Shea and Matthew O'Shea, both who starred for Béara CS in their recent All-Ireland Vocational triumph, with Cahalane an imposing figure in midfield. In attack the talents of Brian Hurley, John O'Rourke and Alan Cronin, who all featured last year, will be tipped to lead the way in the scoring stakes.

Clare reached the semi-final stage last year and manager Michael Considine is able to call on four of that side for tonight's match. Full-back Graham Johnson, wing-back Wesley De Loughrey, wing-forward Seanie Malone and corner-forward Darragh Sexton will spearhead their efforts to succeed.

In Austin Stack Park there, is a repeat of last year's Munster MFC decider at 7.30pm with the meeting of Kerry and Tipperary. Six of the HS Clonmel team that won the All-Ireland Colleges Senior B football title last Friday have been named in the Tipp lineup by manager David Power.

Captain Paddy Dalton and full-back Jonathan Ryan are their defensive stars with Billy Hewitt and Liam Boland, who contributed 1-9 between them in last Friday's decider, the sharpshooters up front.

It's only a fortnight since a Tipperary football team travelled to Tralee to upset the home side and Kerry minor boss Pat O'Driscoll is determined his charges will not suffer the same fate as their U21 counterparts. Tonight represents the start of O'Driscoll's inter-county managerial career, but he comes armed with impressive credentials, courtesy of the stunning club success he enjoyed with Ardfert.

"Tipperary have always had good footballers but the appointment of John Evans has really brought them on. They don't fear Kerry and showed that at U21 level.

"They won't worry about having to travel to Tralee. They have some fine players, including the lads that won the All-Ireland with Clonmel.

"We've worked hard but we know what we're up against. I'm loving this new job. I get as much enjoyment out of U8 and U10 football as I do inter-county. There's good old spirit in this team and they've worked hard, which has made it very enjoyable. Minors are very unpredictable but hopefully we can get the right result now."

Kerry will be minus their St Brendan's, Killarney contingent, but if last year's stars Eanna O'Connor, David Culhane, Mark Reen and James Walsh click, then they can advance.

The final quarter-final tonight sees Limerick and Waterford square off in Kilmallock at 6.30pm.

The home side will look to Shane O'Connor, James O'Meara, Ian Corbett and Jamie Lee for inspiration against a Waterford team backboned by Kevin Phelan, Danny O'Brien, Sam Lawless and Eoin Walsh.

Good to see Clare going well, hopefully they can keep it up they need a boost at the moment.

[KIDDO 4]

Kerry 1.12,Tipp 2.7 full time score.

[Onlooker]

Tipperary scored 2 late goals in Tralee, but it was still a decent performance away from home against Kerry.  We should have a reasonable chance of qualifying for the semi final against Cork, when we meet the winners of the game between Clare and Waterford.  On tonight's results that will probably be Clare.

Did he play well? I've an uncle by that name!

Limerick cruise into next round

Limerick 3-10 Waterford 2-04

LIMERICK BUILT on a great start to cruise into the next round in Kilmallock last night. A goal inside two minutes by Danny Frewen had Limerick on their way and when Brian Noonan had a second goal after 10 minutes it put the home side in front by 2-3 to 0-0.

Limerick went on to lead 2-6 to 1-2 at the interval, with full forward Eoin Walsh getting the Waterford goal.

Limerick kept up the pressure on the resumption and a goal by Pat O'Donnell killed off the game.

Such was the Limerick dominance that corner back Shane Reynolds was able to move forward to score a point.

Waterford introduced Cormac Condon for Éanna Ó Ceallaigh late on and Condon got their second goal but it made no real difference.

LIMERICK: J Greaney; S Reynolds (0-1), S O'Connor, B McCarthy; M O'Leary, J O'Meara, B Doherty; I Corbett, P Scanlon (0-5, four frees); B Noonan (1-0), M Brosnahan, P O'Donnell (1-1); J Lee (0-2), D Treacy, D Frewen (1-1). Subs: S O'Donnell for Noonan, G O'Connor for Brosnahan, K Doody for Lee, K Brosnahan for O'Leary.

WATERFORD: C Mulcahy; C O'Hare, K Phelan, S McGrath; L Ó Corraoin, D Duggan, B Carroll; R Sheehan, D O'Brien; E Ó Ceallaigh, S Lawless (0-1), E Power (0-1); D Hanlon, E Walsh (1-1), P White (0-1). Sub: C Condon for Ó Ceallaigh.

Referee: G Lynch (Kerry).



Perfect start puts Kerry clear

Kerry 1-12 Tipperary 2-07

TWO LATE Tipperary goals put a gloss on the score as a Kerry side under new boss Pat O'Driscoll deservedly advanced at Austin Stack Park last night.

Kerry did the damage in opening eight minutes with an explosive scoring burst of 1-4 without reply.

Mark Reen opened Kerry's account with a superb point in the second minute and Thomas Hickey added another within a minute. Tipperary were chasing shadows as Hickey raced through the middle in the fourth minute and he fed Gavin O'Grady, who quickly transferred the ball to the inrushing Mark Reen, who blasted the ball to Tipperary net.

Two Billy Hewitt points and a Liam Boland free was all Tipp had to show as Kerry led 1-6 to 0-3 at the interval.

Kerry took over again in the third quarter with a string of points from Eanna O'Connor, Gavin O'Grady and Hickey as they looked to be cruising as they led 1-11 to 0-4 at the end of the third quarter.

Tipperary never gave up as Kerry ran their bench and two late goals from Boland and Shane Leahy cut the deficit to two points.

Time, however, was not on Tipperary's side.

KERRY: P McCarthy; P Kilkenny, D Culhane, F McNamara; J Walsh, L Bastible, J Hickson; D Somers, G Durant; M Reen (1-2), T Hickey (0-2), M Mangan; B Dwyer (0-1), G O'Grady (0-4, two frees), E O'Connor (0-3, one free). Subs: J Moynihan for B Dwyer (47 mins); T Morley for G O'Grady (50); A Thompson for J Hickson (54); E Kiely for D Somers (58); C Cox for E O'Connor (60).

TIPPERARY: P Nolan; P Dalton, J Ryan, S Taylor; M Murphy, N O'Meara, P O'Meara; K Seymour, J O'Callaghan; D Leahy, B Harkin, B Maher; L Boland (1-3, 0-1 from free), B Hewitt (0-3, one free), L McGrath. Subs: M O'Sullivan for M Murphy (10 mins); S Leahy (1-1) for K Seymour (25); K Kennedy for N O'Meara (32, blood); C O'Sullivan for J Ryan (44); S Power for D Leahy (44); L Treacy for B Maher (46).

Referee: R Hickey (Clare).

Battling Cork show their mettle


Clare 0-09 Cork 1-09

THERE WAS drama aplenty last evening at Cusack Park when Cork left it late to secure victory.

The sides were level at the break, 1-2 to 0-5, with Cork corner-forward Brian Hurley rattling the Clare net after 13 minutes to claim the tie's only goal.

But early in the second-half Cork were dealt a major blow when full-back Seán O'Shea was dismissed by referee Keith O'Brien for a second bookable offence.

At first, Clare took the initiative but they could never get more than two points ahead.

Tenaciously, Cork rallied and Daniel McEoin made it 1-6 to 0-9. Going into injury-time, the Leesiders dug deep and their corner-forwards Hurley, twice, and McEoin added late vital scores to seal the visitors' victory.

CORK: D Hanrahan; D Crowley, S O'Shea, D O'Donovan; T Clancy, D O'Carroll, M O'Shea; D Calahan, J Byrne; J O'Rourke, A Cronin (C), C O'Sullivan; D McEoin (0-4, two frees), T Hegarty, B Hurley (1-5, five frees). Subs: D Murphy for O'Donovan (24 mins), P Hicks for O'Sullivan (half-time), D Lester for O'Carroll (41), D Ring for Hegarty (45).

CLARE: R Dunne; J Colleran, G Johnson, O Vaughan; S Lineen, D Sexton, W De Loughrey; R Linnane, A Malone (0-3, three frees); S Malone, C O'Reilly, P Collins (Capt) (0-2); T Kelly (0-1), N Hickey (0-3), E Boyce. Subs: A Downes for O'Reilly (40), A Murrihy for S Malone (46).

Referee: K O'Brien (Tipperary)
