Cork bidding for third final on the trot

Reigning Munster and All-Ireland champions Cork are heavily favoured to progress from today's SHC semi-final clash with Clare (throw-in 3.30pm) and make their third successive Liam McCarthy Cup decider.

Clare, under the tutelage of former All-Ireland-winning captain Anthony Daly, stand in their way at Croke Park in what is the Munster rivals' first championship meeting outside of the province.
