Interim Cork manager John Cleary says they would be hopeful of progressing to an All-Ireland semi-final if pitted against Derry or Galway in this morning’s quarter-final draw.

Cork came off second best to both the Ulster and Connacht champions during the league, by margins of nine and eight points respectively, but Cleary insists that Cork have improved considerably since those two February defeats and are capable of matching either side.
