Cork's Ciaran Joyce on last year's final: “It was one of the most enjoyable matches I've played in. You know, even though we did lose, just the game itself and the occasion and everything, it was unreal.

“The build-up to the game, it was some experience to play in. And, like, we took a lot of learnings from it too.

“As young fellas, what you dream of to play in an All-Ireland final and to be playing there then, it's unreal.

“But you also have to treat it like it's just another game. You know, you can't let the occasion get to you too. The whole parade and, you know, all the side pieces that are different for an All-Ireland final. You can't leave these things get to you too.”

Tipperary manager Liam Cahill: “For me, the first round of the Munster Championship in Thurles against Limerick, you could really sense it was starting to work out.

“I said it to the players from day one, you have to earn the Tipperary supporters’ respect again.

“It is not lost on us as a squad, we are over the moon with the huge support we have and the energy there is around the place.

“We feel good. Cork are a great team. But we are there on merit.”
