Dominant Cork Over Power Tipp 

Cork 5-12

Tipperary 1-7

A dominant Cork side over came Tipperary in the Munster Minor A Final on Sunday afternoon last August 29^th at Mallow GAA Complex, Mallow.

Cork who went into the final as hot favourites for the tie were first on the scoreboard with a point from Leah Hallinan in the 4^th minute. Cork drove on from there scoring 3-6 to no score up until 25^th of the half when Sara Finnane pointed. Followed quickly by a point from Emer McCarthy. The half time score reading Cork 3-8 Tipperary 0-2.

On the restart with just 30 seconds on the clock Cork had breached the Tipp defence again with Leah Hallinan rattling home their 4^th goal of the afternoon. Tipperary to their credit never gave up and for much of the second half had the majority of the possession. A goal from a converted penalty by full forward Emer McCarthy in the 38^th minute lifted her side but a 5^th goal by Orlaith Cahalane, her third of the afternoon, just before the second waterbreak  finished off the game. There were some good points from Clara English (0-3) and a point each from Sara Finnane and Neasa Towey to wrap the scoring for Tipp
