Galway and Cork meet in the All-Ireland Senior Hurling semi-final on Saturday in Croke Park (4pm), with the newly crowned Leinster champions Galway going in as heavy underdogs against a Cork side that lost to Limerick in a titanic Munster final. The Tribesmen have beaten Cork in the counties’ last five championship encounters, having failed to register a win in their first 19 attempts until the All-Ireland semi-final of 1975. Cork’s last win over Galway was in the 2008 qualifiers, but their most recent clash was the 2022 championship, when Galway prevailed by the narrowest of margins, 2-19 to 1-21, in an All-Ireland quarter final. This year, Cork won all four round-robin games in the Munster Championship, before losing the final to Limerick by 1-21 to 2-17, while Galway won four of their five round-robin games in Leinster, losing to Dublin in Pearse Stadium before exacting revenge with a big win over the same opposition in the provincial final.
