Cork are one win away from a return to Croke Park, two wins away from a return to the All-Ireland final and three wins away from returning to the very top of the hurling mountain for the first time since 2005.
But that's looking much to far down the line, of course, because standing in their way on Saturday is a Dublin side with a point to prove.
Following their hugely disappointing loss to Kilkenny in the Leinster final, the Dubs will be aiming to show what they are really capable of and that their 3-28 to 1-18 hammering by the Cats was no more than just a bad day at the office.
