Definitive underdogs going into the game, Liam Cahill's men ran out winners on an ultimately dominant scoreline of 3-27 to 1-18 in front of a sellout Croke Park crowd, despite going into the break six points down. Cork were in search of an elusive 31st Liam MacCarthy trophy, having fallen at the final hurdle by a single point against Clare last year, making it 20 years since their last taste of All-Ireland glory. However, The Premier County responded resolutely after half-time, producing a score of 3-14 to 0-2 in the second-half alone. The national broadcaster said 980,000 viewers watched The Premier county's enthralling comeback on The Sunday Game Live on RTÉ2 television, with 78pc of the channel's available viewership tuning in. RTÉ reports that ratings peaked at the end of the game, with 1,119,000 people witnessing Tipp close out the game against a limping 14-man Cork side which had Eoin Downey red-carded in the 55th minute, conceding a penalty in the process. Another notable statistic from yesterday's match coverage were the record numbers who followed the game on the RTÉ Player as 400,645 viewers opted to stream the coverage through the broadcaster's streaming service, the highest figure yet across its hurling and football coverage. A televised analysis of the clash, as well as of the entire hurling season to date, was presented by Jacqui Hurley last night on RTÉ which drew 244,000 viewers and 39,000 streams on RTÉ Player.
