Kilkenny and Cork all set for Semi Final showdown.

So The Rock remains at number three on the Cork senior hurling team, will this be the one the Rebel championship dreams perish on? Unlikely. Diarmuid will be more fired up than ever now for the battle against the Cats who won't relish facing Leeside opposition again. Brian Cody and Gerald McCarthy came face to face to meet the press at Croker in advance of the big match and as you might expect the issue of the Cloyne man's appearance came up for discussion amongst other topics.
