Cork have four representatives on our hurling team of the week following their impressive Waterford Crystal Cup semi-final victory over Clare, see who else made the cut ...
1. Patrick Collins (Cork)
Saved brilliantly from Patrick Donnellan to help preserve Cork's superiority over Clare at Mallow on Saturday.
2. Conor O'Sullivan (Cork)
O'Sullivan and his Rebel County team-mates are now looking forward to a final against Limerick following their convincing victory over Clare.
3. Damien Cahalane (Cork)
The Cork full-back was successful in curbing the influence of Clare's Aaron Cunningham.
4. Seamus Hickey (Limerick)
Hickey and his Limerick team-mates survived a real scare against UCC at Kilmallock and will be hoping for an improved performance in next weekend's final.
5. Joe Campion (Laois)
Wexford struggled to break down a resolute defensive effort by Laois in which Campion was particularly effective.
6. David Collins (Galway)
The experienced Collins dealt competently with anything that came his way in Tullamore.
7. Peter Kelly (Dublin)
The regular full-back is enjoying his new role in the half-back line as Dublin advanced to the last four of the Walsh Cup.
8. Joseph Cooney (Galway)
Offaly were unable to compete down the middle against the Tribesmen and Cooney got through a lot of good work.
9. Brendan Bugler (Clare)
Bugler was one of the few Clare players who did themselves justice in Mallow.
10. Stephen Maher (Laois)
'Picky' gave the Model County plenty of food for thought, registering 1-6, and will hoping to continue his rich vein of scoring form against Dublin.
11. Johnny Glynn (Galway)
Glynn caused plenty of headaches for Offaly's defence as Anthony Cunningham's men inflicted a 12-point defeat on their hosts.
12. Danny Sutcliffe (Dublin)
The former All-Star was in good scoring form for Ger Cunningham's charges and raised five white flags.
13. Luke O'Farrell (Cork)
O'Farrell's two first-half goals laid the foundations for his side's nine-point victory over Clare and he also chipped in with three points.
14. PJ Scully (Laois)
The Laois full-forward found the back of the Wexford net on no less than three occasions.
15. Marty Kavanagh (Carlow)
Kavanagh produced a man of the match display, finishing with 0-11 (six frees) to his name, as Carlow comfortably saw off the challenge of NUIG on Friday.
