A week after the drawn game Tipperary beat Cork 4-22 to 1-22 in Killarney with Richard Stakelum uttering the words 'The Famine is Over' to a huge roar. The dynamic that had been in place was broken and Corks record run in the Munster championship came to an end.

The following year the final was at the Gaelic Grounds in Limerick as Babs Keating side looked to make the era a special one for Tipperary supporters. That year Tipperary were captained by Pat O'Neill and retained the Munster title beating Cork on a scoreline of 2–19 to 1–13. Cormac Bonner announced his arrival on to the big stage alongside Fox and English in the full forward line. Pictured is Nicky English with his former team-mate Cormac Bonner. Croke Park, Dublin.

Always one of the classy Cork forwards, the lethal John Fitzgibbon, Ger Fitzgerald and Mark Foley, (who hit 2-7) overcame Tipperary in Thurles in 1990. 'Donkeys don't win derbies' was a famous Babs Keating line taken out of context in relation to the game which led to much controversy. Unlimately Cork beat the favourites Tipperary and the rebels went on to win the double in Croke Park with teddy MacCarthy part of the hurling and football teams. John Fitzgibbon, Cork, celebrates.

The following year they met again. The drawn Munster final ended Cork 4-10 Tipperary 2-16 before Tipperary beat Cork 4-19 to 4-15 in the replay with Aidan Ryan getting the key goal.
