Cork Constitution know all about the difficulties of an away draw in the Energia AIL Division 1A semi-finals, they have lost two of them in successive seasons.

Which is why their captain, back-rower Dave Hyland, is placing plenty of store in his side securing home advantage at Temple Hill for this Saturday’s last-four showdown with Clontarf (2:30pm).
