Cork captain Patrick Horgan describes the All-Ireland semi-final win over Kilkenny as “a great buzz” but stresses that his side knuckled down to prepare for the decider very quickly.

“Obviously having a great win over such a team as Kilkenny in Croke Park was such a massive achievement for this group so we enjoyed it for an hour or two but fairly shortly after our attention had to turn to this week and how we prepare.”
