Cork and Wexford to renew battle on Saturday

The GAC had already pencilled in the date for a possible replay and, while consideration was given to putting the game back a further week, they confirmed the fixture for next weekend at a meeting immediately after yesterday's thrilling draw. Kilkenny and Tipperary will meet in the other semi-final on Sunday.

While it was felt that Wexford would be unhappy at having to play so soon because of the number of games they have played, selector Dickie Murphy said they were "happy enough".
