Cork won their sixth McGrath Cup with a 0-13 to 0-6 victory over Tipperary at Clonmel.

This was a one-side match from the off and Conor Counihan's men will be pleased to have some early-season silverware in the bag, even if their ambitions are much loftier.

The Leesiders led by 0-6 to 0-3 at the break and never really looked back as the losers failed to mount a realistic challenge.

Cork's Fiachra Lynch (free) opened the scoring after three minutes and Michael O'Leary added the second to give the Rebels a 0-2 to no score lead after ten minutes.

Fintan Goold got the next score after 20 minutes to make it three-nil but Barry Grogan finally opened Tipp's account before Paul Kerrigan made it 0-4 to 0-1 after 28.

Liam Shorten added a Cork point from 50 metres, Philip Austin replied and Rebel wing back Conor O'Driscoll put four between them.

Tipp talisman Grogan had the last say before the short whistle.

The Rebel County exerted their superiority on the restart and Kerrigan, Alan O'Connor, Goold and Kerrigan again increased the gap before Conor Sweeney and top scorer Kerrigan swapped points.

Cork custodian Ken O'Halloran pulled off a good late save from Grogan, who scored four of the losers' six points. Tweet
