How did they reach the final?

Cork have had a winning run through the province thus far, taking four wins from four in the round-robin.

After a statement win away over Limerick in the opening round at the end of March, the young Rebels crossed the Shannon to take a seven-point victory over Clare in their second outing.

Cork and Waterford met in the fourth round, Fergal McCormack’s side earning a 1-21 to 1-15 win at Páirc Uí Rinn, where they also wrapped up the round-robin stage a fortnight ago in beating Tipperary.

The loss on the Leeside was the only such result for James O’Connor’s charges, who started the campaign with a narrow win over Tipperary at Semple before collecting wins against Limerick and Clare either side of the Cork defeat.

Could this evening be the end of the road for the loser?

No. The beaten Munster finalists will go into an All-Ireland quarter-final, alongside the Leinster runners-up and the winners of the two preliminary quarter-finals.

The Munster champions will see themselves through to the All-Ireland semi-finals, where they’ll be joined by the Leinster champions and the two quarter-final winners.

Should Cork and Waterford both reach the semi-final, they will not be drawn against each other in order to avoid provincial final repeats.
