Cork face Kilkenny in League final showdown

This is a repeat of September’s All-Ireland final, which saw the Black and Amber prevail comfortably to end a 22-year drought and in the process, seal a wonderful double, having garnered League honours earlier in the season.
Cork came out on top by a point when the teams met in the group stages in Kilkenny on April 1 and have emerged from that phase of the competition with a 100% record with victory in Páirc Uí Rinn yesterday.
