Four-in-a-row chasing Dublin have taken strength and conditioning in the ladies game to a new level, according to Cork captain Doireann O’Sullivan.

Cork and Dublin meet in a fifth All-Ireland final in seven years this Sunday, with O’Sullivan pointing to Dublin’s athleticism as the chief reason why Mick Bohan’s charges have been an unstoppable force since replacing Cork at the summit in 2017.
