Cork minor hurling team staged a superb late rally to defeat Wexford GAA minor hurling team by 2-18 to 2-15 in a dramatic Electric Ireland All-Ireland MHC preliminary quarter-final at FBD Semple Stadium.<\/p>\n

For over 50 minutes, Cork struggled to contain an impressive Wexford side who looked on course for victory after building a 1-15 to 0-13 advantage. Jack Tobin was central to Wexford\u2019s dominance, finishing with 1-5, while Se\u00e1n Kavanagh contributed three excellent points during a spell where the Leinster side completely controlled proceedings.<\/p>\n

Cork, however, refused to panic. Substitute Liam O\u2019Regan sparked the comeback with a valuable point before captain Eoin Considine, pushed from wing-back into full-forward, reacted brilliantly to finish to the net after Stephen McHugh\u2019s delivery caused confusion in the Wexford defence.<\/p>\n

That goal transformed the game. Cork levelled through Cormac Murphy after excellent work from centre-back Dave Nolan, and the Rebels suddenly carried all the momentum. Another substitute, Sam McCarthy, proved hugely influential, first putting Cork ahead with a point before later firing a decisive second goal following good approach play involving Considine and Conor Ronayne.<\/p>\n

Ben Power led Cork\u2019s scoring with 0-7, while McCarthy finished with 1-2 and Considine added 1-0. Cork also received important contributions from Murphy, Callum Coffey and Nolan.<\/p>\n

Wexford did grab a late goal through Jamie Downey after a strong run from Jack Furlong, but McCarthy settled Cork nerves with the final point as the Rebels completed an unlikely but deserved turnaround to keep their championship alive.<\/p>\n

Scorers for Cork: B Carroll 0-7 (0-4 f), S McCarthy 1-2, E Considine 1-0, C Coffey, C Murphy 0-2 each, F Cahill, D Nolan, S McHugh, T McCarthy, L O\u2019Regan 0-1 each.<\/p>\n
