It was one-way traffic all the way through this match, although Galway did take the lead through a Keith Killilea point after two minutes.

The next six scores belonging to the Rebels, however, and a goal on the turn from Luke O'Farrell into Donagh Stack after 17 minutes set the pace of the game.

Cork led 1-12 to 0-5 at half-time.

The second goal arrived seven minutes from time - with an excellent strike from Ryan Clifford, who finished with a goal and six points.

Just three points in the second half from Galway, which left Cork marching into the semi-finals.

The final score was Cork 2-19, Galway 0-8.
