What a game that was.
Cork overcame Tipperary in their Munster senior football semi-final clash in Páirc Uí Rinn today after an enthralling encounter.
The first half was abysmal, the second was absolutely electric.

It all came down to the 69th minute of the game when, with Cork leading Tipperary by a point, the Premier County’s top scorer Conor Sweeney scored a superbly opportunistic goal after a hopeful high ball.
Cork responded in flying fashion when they worked a phenomenal team goal from the resultant kick out.
One young supporter kept his wits about him amid the excitement, however, and proceeded to take Barry O’Driscoll’s bloodied number 17 jersey.
WATCH!
Drab first half!
Thrilling second!@OfficialCorkGAA 1:10 – 1:09 @TipperaryGAA!

Cadogan, who didn’t come on in the game tweeted on behalf of Barry O’Driscoll who had to leave the game as a blood substitution in the 44th minute of the game.
Cadogan is unsure on whether it was a Cork supporter who took the jersey, or a Tipperary supporter.
If it was a Tipperary supporter, it was undoubtedly a stunning act of revenge in defeat.
If it was a Cork fan, their killer instinct to take the jersey must be commended.
Could the young lad who ran 🏃🏻🏃🏻away with the bloodied 17 Cork jersey keep the jersey but return the GPS unit inside please 😂Good win too🔴⚪️

Either way, it’s one of those things that every young GAA fan dreams of doing, and the young lad has a valuable GPS unit in their possession now too.
Not a bad day’s work.
