Semi-final replay a first for Cork and Wexford since records began

SATURDAY’S All-Ireland semi-final replay between Cork and Wexford is the first between the counties since championship records began.

Indeed Cork have never been involved in a replay at the penultimate stage of the championship, while Wexford were involved just once, against Galway in 1976.

That game was played in Pairc Uí Chaoimh and the teams ended level on a 5-14 to 2-23 scoreline with Wexford winning the replay by 3-14 to 2-14 before losing the final to Cork.
