'We were the better team throughout,' says Tompkins

CORK'S victory over Mayo yesterday sets up a dream All-Ireland semi-final against Kerry on August 25.

Both counties are no strangers to each other having met in the provincial championships on numerous occasions, but this will be an historic first between them in an All-Ireland semi- final.

Cork secretary Frank Murphy urged both sets of supporters to get ready for another trip to the capital in three weeks time as the game, to be played at Croke Park, another historic first.
