Brian Gavin is the referee this afternoon.

Semple Stadium isnโ€™t packed to the rafters but the anticipation is building and weโ€™re moments away from throw-in.

Cork strong favorites here against an injury-hit Waterford side. Prediction time?

Waterford 0-1 Cork 0-0: 1 mins โ€“ First blood to Waterford as Pauric Mahony slots over a free from distance.

Waterford 0-1 Cork 0-1: 2 mins โ€“ Patrick Horgan duly replies with a Cork free.

Brian Oโ€™Sullivan shoots wide for Waterford after being played in by Jake Dillon.

Aidan Walsh gallops through the middle for Cork but elects to go for goal rather than tap over a point. Waterfordโ€™s defence make the block and clear to safety.

Waterford 0-2 Cork 0-1: 4 mins โ€“ Mahony restores Waterfordโ€™s advantage from a free.

Waterford 0-3 Cork 0-1: 6 mins โ€“ Oโ€™Sullivan clips over a lovely point from the right wing for Waterford and thatโ€™s followed up by a wide from distance by Dillon.

Positional changes of note see Waterford start Kevin Moran at centre-back, Michael Walsh at midfield and Jake Dillon at centre-forward. Cork have brought Conor Lehane out to centre-forward.

The Cork team

Waterford 0-4 Cork 0-1: 9 mins โ€“ Waterford have definitely started brighter. Jamie Nagle just swung over a stunning point off his left from distance.

Waterford 0-5 Cork 0-1: 10 mins โ€“ And now debutant Tadhg Burke gets in on the scoring act for Waterford.

Cork look shaky so far. Patrick Horgan sees a point attempt from a free drift wide.

Waterford 0-5 Cork 0-2: 13 mins โ€“ Thatโ€™s far better from Cork. A fine passing move out of defence culminates in Lorcan McLoughlin spraying a delivery in to Alan Cadogan who swiftly turns before popping over a beauty off his left. Thatโ€™s his first point for the Cork hurlers in a senior championship game.

Waterford 0-6 Cork 0-3: 16 mins โ€“ Mahony on target again for Waterford from a placed ball but itโ€™s quickly cancelled out by Seamus Harnedy, who caught the puck out brilliantly and smashed over a point.

Waterford 0-7 Cork 0-3: 18 mins โ€“ Dillon on the mark for Waterford, he looks to have swapped with Shane Walsh. In the Cork attack, thereโ€™s also a switch between Harnedy and Conor Lehane.

Waterford 0-8 Cork 0-3: 18 mins โ€“ Mahony again raises a white flag for Waterford from a free.

Substitute: Waterfordโ€™s Eddie Barrett has to go off injured with Richie Foley coming on to replace him.

Waterford 0-8 Cork 0-4: 25 mins โ€“ Thatโ€™s class from Aidan Walsh as he despatches a sideline cut between the posts for Cork.

Waterford 0-10 Cork 0-5: 27 mins โ€“ Points swapped by Cadogan and Nagle.

Waterford 0-10 Cork 0-6: 29 mins โ€“ Cadogan has been Corkโ€™s liveliest forward so far and he just won a free that was converted by Horgan.

Waterford 0-11 Cork 0-6: 30 mins โ€“ Another exquisite sideline cut, this time despatched over the bar by Austin Gleeson. An All-Ireland minor winner last year, the Mount Sion youngster has huge potential.

Waterford 0-12 Cork 0-6: 34 mins โ€“ Mahony on target once more with a free after Brian Oโ€™Sullivan was fouled by Shane Oโ€™Neill.

Three minutes of additional time.

Half-Time: Waterford 0-13 Cork 0-7

Waterford full value for this six-point lead and theyโ€™ve amassed nine wides as well. Cork badly need to reorganize at the break.

Substitute: Coughlan is gone off the Waterford team with Shane Fives introduced.

What a goal from Austin Gleeson for Waterford!

Waterford 1-16 Cork 0-11: 45 mins โ€“ This game is firmly in Waterfordโ€™s hands now. Austin Gleeson charges through the Cork defence for a wonderful solo goal as he finished off his left and then Shane Walsh pointed.

Waterford 1-17 Cork 0-11: 47 mins โ€“ Mahony slots over another free for Waterford.
