Experienced Cork ready to up the ante

WITH defending champions Armagh having surrendered their crown, tomorrow’s All-Ireland U-21 football semi-finals take on added significance.

Cork are the most experienced of the quartet. This will be their third semi-final appearance in-a-row and they will be desperately keen to make it to their first final in 12 years.

Laois will provide the opposition at the Gaelic Grounds, Limerick tomorrow (3.30pm), and despite the furore between their senior and under-21 selectors, the Leinster champions, who are looking for their first ever title at this level, will be very difficult to beat.
