Galway captain David Burke: Cork have edge on Waterford

Galway hurling captain David Burke has identified Cork as slight favourites to join the Tribesmen in the All-Ireland hurling final, a comment that will inevitably be stored for motivation in Waterford.

Galway got through their semi-final at Tipperary’s expense at the weekend and the focus now shifts to Sunday’s showdown to see who will join them in the September 3 showpiece.

Burke, in a roundabout way, ended up tipping Cork to return to the final for the first time since 2013 when it was suggested to him that Galway will probably be favourites, regardless of who they play.
