Cork suffered a terrible scare in the second-half of today's incredible clash with Tipperary - and without Anthony Nash, it could have become a full-blown nightmare.
Leading by nine points at the half-way mark, Cork's lead had been successfully whittled down with around ten minutes remaining.
Looking a team transformed, Michael Ryan's looked set to retaliate to the sound of Ger Loughnane's ominous half-time reproach of their quick descent to hurling's bottom.
Having done incredibly well in that second-half, a shell-shocked Cork eventually found the means of some reply.
Eking back out a three-point lead, Cork were heavily reliant on their goalkeeper Anthony Nash to secure the lead. Meeting a breaking-ball at the edge of the Cork box, John O'Dwyer caught the shot sweetly; low to Nash's right.
With incredible reflexes, the Kanturk man pulled off the save of the season.

In a Munster Championship classic, Tipperary did reel in the three required points to leave the match level at full-time.
