Cork top hurling Fair Play Index
Despite losing the Allianz National Hurling League Division 1 final, Cork's senior hurlers have something to celebrate about - they have won €10,000 for their Panel Development Fund after topping the GAA's Hurling Fair Play Index.
During their eight-game NHL campaign, Cork players received just 12 cautions - at an average of 1.50 per game - which saw them top the Fair Play table, with Waterford in second place.
The Rebels were only shown 12 yellow cards during the league, with none of their squad receiving a red card.
This was just one less card than was received by second-placed Waterford.
Beaten Division 2 finalists Clare and Division 1 winners Galway were also extremely disciplined throughout their campaigns and finished in joint third place.
Cork begin their Munster Championship bid against Tipperary on Sunday, May 30 at Semple Stadium.
