Waterford beat Cork to book All-Ireland final spot
Waterford will face Galway in the All-Ireland hurling final after overcoming 14-man Cork 4-19 to 0-20 at Croke Park.
Michael Walsh’s early goal gave Waterford a slender lead before the Rebels reduced the defecit to go into the break 1-07 to 0-09 behind.
Both sides matched one another from there on in and the game looked like it could go down to the wire until the Deise were handed a huge advantage when Damien Cahalane was sent off after receiving two yellow cards for fouls on Austin Gleeson and Conor Gleeson respectively.
Despite the loss of their full-back, Cork rallied and hit three consecutive points as they looked to overcome the odds, but Waterford upped gears and scored two goals through Austin Glesson and Jamie Barron who dispatched his effort to book the Deise's first All-Ireland final since 2008.
Another two red cards followed when Patrick Horgan and Conor Gleeson were dismissed for hitting one another with their hurling sticks after the game, with Gleeson now facing a ban, which could see him miss the final on 3 September.
