Champions Cork are in an eighth consecutive final following a 2-13 to 1-10 win over Wexford at Nowlan Park.

Although they trailed 1-5 to 0-6 at the break, Cork were a different outfit in the second half. An Emer O'Farrell green flag at the three-quarter stage was the boon the Rebels needed, as they ran out deserving victors ans set up a final meeting with Kilkenny.
