Cork were absolutely ruthless at the weekend against Dublin. They had a plan and they executed it so well. Pat Ryan’s side will now be built up as unbeatable going into the final. Dealing with a performance like that and trying to raise the levels again for a final is very tough.

Seven-goal Cork book their place in the All-Ireland hurling final with a ruthless display against Dublin in Croke Park.

If not now, when? Twenty years now Cork have been chasing their 31st All-Ireland. At no stage in those two decades have they looked more ready or better equipped for glory. One more game now. Just one more win.
