The 1987 Munster Senior Hurling Championship Final was a hurling match played on 12 July 1987 at Semple Stadium, Thurles, County Tipperary. It was contested by Tipperary and Cork. The final finished in a draw with a scoreline of 1-18 each. Tipperary captained by Richard Stakelum and managed by Bab's Keating won the replay by 4-22 to 1-22 after extra time a week later in Killarney to claim their first Munster Senior title since 1971. The first drawn game is notable as the game that Nicky English kicked the ball to the net soccer style after dropping his hurley. In the replay Michael Doyle was the hero coming on as a substitute to score two goals. On accepting the cup at the end of the game, captain Richard Stakelum gave his famous ''the famine is over'' speech. Nicky English speaking in 2012 still rates the victory as his greatest victory, saying "The reason it was so special was that a number of us had been on the team for a long time, I was there since 1982. We had already had our disappointments in Munster finals in 1984 and 1985 and that Cork side still had the remnants of the three-in-a-row side and for us to get over Cork was a major thing for us and a major progression really". Highlights of both games were shown as part of The Sunday Game programme on RTE 2 on the Sunday night. The programmes were presented by Michael Lyster with commentary by Ger Canning. ==Match details== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1987 Munster Senior Hurling Championship Final」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
