Cork v Tipperary live score updates from the All-Ireland hurling final

All-Ireland SHC final: Clare 3-29 Cork 1-34 AET
It took 90 minutes of non-stop action to separate Clare and Cork in what has already been dubbed one of the greatest games of hurling ever seen.
In the end, it was a point from substitute Shane Meehan that ensured that the Liam MacCarthy would be heading to the Banner county for the first time since 2013.
Clare defeated Cork that season after a replay and it seemed written in the stars that this game would be replayed in a fortnight's time.
After Meehan's point put Clare three ahead in stoppage-time, a brace of scores from Patrick Horgan left the fate of the final in the hands of Johnny Murphy.
The Limerick referee allowed Cork one final chance and substitute Robbie O'Flynn had a golden opportunity to force a replay. However, in the final twist of a gripping decider, he pulled his shot wide of the posts at the Hill 16 end.
The red and white jerseys of Cork fell to their knees while the yellow and blue of the Banner rejoiced as Murphy's full-time whistle brought the contest to its conclusion.
For the Rebels, their drought now extends to a 20th season - the longest in their history.
If ever there was a game when neither side deserved to lose, this was it.
The Rebels enjoyed the better of proceedings in the early stages and led by three on two occasions in the first quarter.
Brian Hayes, Tim O'Mahony and Seamus Harnedy were on target from play while Patrick Horgan was unerring from frees. Worryingly from a Clare perspective both Conor Cleary and Adam Hogan picked up early bookings.
Things went from bad to worse for Brian Lohan's men when Robert Downey surged through unchecked to fire the game's opening goal.
Aidan McCarthy converted a free to settle Clare back into the game and a bit of brilliance from Shane O'Donnell had them back in contention.
Murphy played advantage for a foul on Peter Duggan and O'Donnell burst through the Cork challenges to set up McCarthy for a superb goal.
Clare fought back to level the game, 1-12 each at half-time. The second half was a reversal of the first with Cork needing a late comeback to force extra-time.
O'Mahony's second point had briefly given Cork the lead after the opening four scores were split evenly but Clare struck for their second goal via Mark Rodgers.
Cork fought back to level the game once again before Banner skipper Tony Kelly plundered a stunning goal.
Cutting inside two Cork defenders, Kelly beat Patrick Collins with a deft finish before Horgan replied for Cork.
However, a brilliant sideline cut from Peter Duggan put Clare three ahead. Yet again, Cork fought back. Horgan, Eoin Downey and the impressive Harnedy with his fourth made it a draw game, 3-16 to 1-22 with a little over 10 minutes remaining.
Back came Clare with a hat-trick of points, but they couldn't quite close the game out as Darragh Fitzgibbon and a brace of Horgan frees had the sides level.
Kelly looked to have sealed the game once more, before Horgan forced extra-time from another free.
As the players took time to draw breath, some fans had to be called back into the stadium as it appears not everyone was aware that extra-time would be played before a potential replay.
A further 10 minutes failed to separate the teams, with the scoreboard reading 3-25 to 1-31.
The next 10 minutes might well go down as the most dramatic in the history of the famous game.
Tony Kelly, Aidan McCarthy and Shane Meehan landed a rally of points that should have put the game beyond doubt. Two Horgan points cut the gap to two with time all but up.
However, Murphy allowed Pat Ryan's side one final play to salvage a replay. A free from Patrick Collins dropped into the danger area and was plucked from the sky by O'Flynn.
He turned to shoot and appeared to have his jersey held by Conor Leen. The free wasn't given and his shot flew wide of the posts.
It proved to be the final act of a pulsating final. Clare are All-Ireland champions for 2024, but Cork deserve equal plaudits for their part in a game for the ages. Clare captain Tony Kelly lifts the Liam MacCarthy Cup after the 2024 All-Ireland final (Image: ©INPHO/Ryan Byrne)

'I would do anything to win another one' - Mark Collins sets sights on winning three-in-a-row with Castlehaven

Chasing three-in-a-row. Mark Collins remembers well the last time Castlehaven went after that particular prize. The memories are not fond. The Haven began the 2014 Cork football championship the same as they do the current edition throwing in this weekend - the back-to-back winners wearing a sizable target on their back. They should have taken care of the neighbours first day out 11 years ago. They enjoyed a six-point advantage over Carbery Rangers at one juncture. Brian Hurley's 10 second-half minutes on the sideline because of injury was pounced upon by their opponents. In the Round 4 replay a fortnight later, the men from Rosscarbery outgunned them 1-9 to 0-2 in the second half for a nine-point win. A first county championship defeat in two years, 10 months, and 29 days. Come throw-in this evening at Ovens, Castlehaven's latest unbeaten stretch on the local scene will sit at 11 games and two years, nine months, and 24 days. Mark Collins was 24 then, is 35 now. His attitude for this latest three-in-a-row push isn't a second cousin of what it was when last they went after a feat that has been managed by only one club - Nemo, of course - over the past 80 years. 'I'm at a totally different stage of my career now. Back then, everything seemed like a bonus, whereas now you're trying to get every little last bit out of it,' Collins said this week. Read More Familiar look to Cork football as county championship throws in 'That time, we probably would have been absolutely delighted to have won two-in-a-row, whereas now I would do anything to win another one. 'We were disappointed with that go at three-in-a-row in 2014, so we'd be hoping to, starting on Saturday against Mallow, which won't be an easy start, to start on a better foot.' Their Division 1 League campaign wasn't hectic. Lest we forget Rory Maguire and Conor Cahalane lining out the day after featuring in Cork's Sam Maguire group defeat to Meath to help secure a relegation-avoiding victory over fellow strugglers Carrigaline. Uninspiring League form is nothing new, ditto the challenge of the Cahalane brothers rejoining the local fold days ahead of their championship opener. They've dealt with all that before. They've dealt too with the expectation. 'We'd never been there before,' said Collins of their 2024 status as the ones to knock. 'All those big matches against the Barrs and Nemo in recent years, we went in as underdogs whereas last year, probably every match we played, we went in as favourites and it was a different thing for the group. We dealt with it well, which was a positive. 'We've had a lot of younger lads break into our team, no fear, plenty of confidence. Winning that county in '23 gave them confidence that they were good enough to be at that level and they progressed even more for us in '24 and became big players and leaders for us.' Is there enough there for them to go where no Castlehaven side has gone previously? Let's find out.
