Munster title for Ellis

Congratulations to the Mark Ellis who played at wing back for Cork Intermediate hurlers in their victory over Waterford in the Munster Final tonight. While Cork trailed for most of the game, they never gave up and finally pulled ahead through a Bill Cooper point in the 59th minute before John Halbert sealed the victory with an injury time point. For the commentary of the game as it happened, see the Official Cork GAA Twitter page. For the lineup of the teams go to the Cork GAA Website.

Thanks be to god Waterford didn’t beat us twice in one week!
