Tipperary and Cork's minor sides played out a thriller in Semple Stadium on Thursday night and couldn't be separated after extra-time.

Evan Sheehan goaled with a last-gasp 20-metre free to secure the draw for Cork in a pulsating Electric Ireland Munster minor hurling semi-final clash. The game was tit-for-tat throughout with 90 minutes of hurling unable to produce a winner. It did, however, look as if Tipperary would emerge victorious when they lead by six points in the early stages of the second half of normal time, but Cork came back and a last minute Robert Downey effort send the sides to extra-time. Darragh Woods was in top form for Tipperary shooting 1-4, while Ray McCormack, Craig Morgan, Conor Bowe and Jerome Cahill also impressed. For Cork Brian Turnbull top scored with 0-9 while James Keating lead from the front at centre back. The game will be replayed on Saturday at 13:00 in Páirc Uí Rinn which is just 39 hours after tonight's clash. https://twitter.com/BrophShane/status/880524160300089345 Tipperary had requested to have the game changed to Monday evening but these requests were rejected by Cork. https://twitter.com/BrophShane/status/880532198620876800 The Munster Council were agreeable to a move, however the Cork county board bizarrely said no. https://twitter.com/Killian_Whelan/status/880535094410305536 https://twitter.com/Lisa_Lawlor/status/880536922359119874
