    Brilliant finish. That is what Galway do, they leave space for the fast players to get through and Darragh Neary is one of them.

    Cork have an issue as Galway are playing however they want to play.

    If you were Micheal Donoghue, this is exactly what you would have wanted.

    His side is ahead and playing on their terms.

    Shane Barrett responds for Cork with their first score as he manages to clip the ball over from an acute angle.

  13. Postpublished at 15:35 BST 4 July

    Cork 0-0 Galway 0-3

    What a point from Cathal Mannion, who fires one over from a long, long way out.

    Cork have not got going so far and have been sloppy in possession.

  14. Postpublished at 15:34 BST 4 July

    Patient play from Cork before Sean O'Donoghue drops the ball as he lines up a shot.

  16. Postpublished at 15:32 BST 4 July

    Cork 0-0 Galway 0-1

    A chaotic start to the game with both sides surrendering possession early before Thomas Monaghan strokes over the first score of the game.

    Cork v Galway (15:30 BST)

    Jason Forde
    Three-time All-Ireland winner with Tipperary

    Galway have been steadily progressing. I think winning Leinster was a big thing for them.

    Micheal Donoghue has brought a lot of youth into the team which has benefitted them. They have pacy, young players who will have no fear, but if you're going on form you'd be tipping Cork.

    They got back scoring goals with six the last day against Offaly and their forwards look to be really on it.

    Cork are strong all over.

    Patrick Collins, what a season he is having between the sticks for Cork. He is a sweeper-keeper with that long delivery.

    The half-back line is incredible with the Downey brothers and Mark Coleman. What a set-up!

    Cork v Galway (15:30 BST)

    The noise has ramped up in Croke Park as the parade has just got under way.

    There's a lot of maroon dotted around the stadium but there's an awful lot more red.
