Waterford claim League title in Thurles

Waterford 1-24 Cork 0-17

Pauric Mahony scored 11 points as Waterford claimed the Allianz Hurling League title with a deserved win over Cork at Semple Stadium on Sunday.

Substitute Tom Devine bagged the insurance goal six minutes from time as a rapidly improving Waterford side finished strongly.

Captain and man of the match Kevin Moran struck three crucial points for Derek McGrath’s team, who last won the league in 2007.

A couple of delightful Austin Gleeson points including a sideline cut ensured Waterford led by 0-11 to 0-7 at half-time.

Scores from Conor Lehane and Patrick Horgan frees kept Cork in touch, but Waterford replacement Devine sealed the deal late on.
