The pairing is set for the GAA All-Ireland senior hurling final and now it's the turn of the footballers to embark on the semi-final trail, starting this Sunday when Cork play Dublin in Croke Park (3.30pm).
Cork will be appearing in the senior semi-final for the sixth successive year (they won two, lost three and drew one of six appearances since 2005) while Dublin's last semifinal outing was in 2007 when they lost to Kerry. Dublin's last semi-final win was in 1995 when they beat Cork by a goal and went on to win the All-Ireland title. Cork have had only one championship win over Dublin, which came in 1989 when they finished four points ahead in the semi-final, en route to winning the title. Cork's last All-Ireland win was in 1990, while Dublin last claimed 'Sam Maguire' in 1995.
