Cork ladies football manager Ephie Fitzgerald believes his team will be difficult to beat in tomorrow’s All-Ireland quarter-final so long as they perform.

Cork welcome Waterford to Páirc Uí Chaoimh (3.30pm throw-in), with the hosts bidding to secure an 11th consecutive All-Ireland semi-final appearance.
