Tipperary and Cork’s minor sides played out a thriller in Semple Stadium on Thursday night and couldn’t be separated after extra-time.
Evan Sheehan goaled with a last-gasp 20-metre free to secure the draw for Cork in a pulsating Electric Ireland Munster minor hurling semi-final clash.
The game was tit-for-tat throughout with 90 minutes of hurling unable to produce a winner.
It did, however, look as if Tipperary would emerge victorious when they lead by six points in the early stages of the second half of normal time, but Cork came back and a last minute Robert Downey effort send the sides to extra-time.
Darragh Woods was in top form for Tipperary shooting 1-4, while Ray McCormack, Craig Morgan, Conor Bowe and Jerome Cahill also impressed.
For Cork Brian Turnbull top scored with 0-9 while James Keating lead from the front at centre back.
The game will be replayed on Saturday at 13:00 in Páirc Uí Rinn which is just 39 hours after tonight’s clash.
Very unfair to ask both teams to go out again in 39 and a half hours time. May hand Clare the Munster title

Tipperary had requested to have the game changed to Monday evening but these requests were rejected by Cork.
Tipperary offered to move it to Monday in interests of player welfare. Cork said no. Munster Council were agreeable to a possible move

The Munster Council were agreeable to a move, however the Cork county board bizarrely said no.
Can Croke Park not intervene here? No way should Tipp v Cork MHC game be played within 48 hours. It wouldn't happen at Senior level.

Cork Manager Denis Ring says they had prepared for potential replay and recovery plans in place before tonight, they are gone to the pool!
