Power play: Cork crush Wexford in All-Ireland semi-final

RAMPANT Cork set up a tantalising All-Ireland hurling final against champions Kilkenny yesterday with an emphatic 18-point defeat of Wexford.

The meeting of hurling’s aristocrats is a repeat of last year’s decider and is the first final to feature two counties who progressed through the qualifiers.

Yesterday’s 1-27 to 0-12 rout of the Leinster champions was described by Wexford goalkeeper Damien Fitzhenry as “one of the best displays I have witnessed in my sporting career”.
