Where does that rank in Cork’s All-Ireland semi-final victories?

Pretty high, although last year’s feat against Limerick takes some topping. Yet, as Pat Ryan admitted after this game, that took a lot out of his team. In scoring terms, this was their largest All-Ireland semi-final victory since the 1984 win over Antrim when they won by 24 points. It was two years later that they hit the seven-goal mark, also against the Saffrons, although the margin was only five.
