Cork's Charlie McCarthy brought the teams back level with two more points, however, this period of parity was short-lived as Kieran Purcell put Kilkenny ahead once again with a point from play after a quarter-of-an-hour.
Éamonn Morrissey was forced to emigrate to Australia, Jim Treacy was ruled out due to injury, Kieran Purcell couldn’t play because of appendicitis and star forward Eddie Keher couldn’t play because of a broken collar bone.
