As we gear up for the All-Ireland Hurling Final on July 21st, we’ll be revisiting each episode over the next three days. Today, we present the second episode.

ALL SET FOR SHOWPIECE GAME OF BRILLIANT HURLING SEASON
After thirty-three games over fourteen drama-filled weeks, it’s down to the last two in the GAA hurling All-Ireland championships. Step forward, Clare and Cork for an All-Ireland final that promises to provide a fitting climax to what has been an
outstanding season.
It throws in at 3.30 in Croke Park on Sunday July 21st and will be refereed by Johnny Murphy (Limerick).
Cork and Clare last met in the All-Ireland final in 2013 when the Banner boys won a replay. That was also the last time that
neither the Leinster nor Munster champions reached the final.
Clare reached this year’s Munster final, losing to Limerick;
Cork finished third in the Munster round robin. Cork are bidding for their 31st All-Ireland win while Clare will attempt to win
their fifth crown.
This will be the eighth time that a team that didn’t win a provincial title went on to win the All-Ireland title
later in the season.
The previous winners through this route were Offaly 1998, Cork 2004, Tipperary 2010, Kilkenny 2012,
Clare 2013, Limerick 2018, Tipperary 2019.
