Ephie Fitzgerald: Cork and Dublin driving up standards

The “phenomenal” level of conditioning required to compete at the business end of the ladies football championship has been driven by Cork and Dublin, according to Ephie Fitzgerald.

Back-to-back All-Ireland champions Dublin collide with league winners Cork in Sunday’s TG4 All-Ireland semi-final at Croke Park (3.45pm), their first championship meeting since last year’s All-Ireland decider.
