## Resource

The hurling season needed two big semi-finals, and this weekend was redemptive. Galway provided the shock, Clare came within minutes of joining them, and the fifth meeting of Cork and Limerick will not materialise after all. Jamie Wall and Joe Canning talk the Cork hype train, the mental scars from last year, Galway’s third-quarter masterclass, and Limerick’s resilience and composure down the stretch. Plus there’s Ned Stark wisdom, manifestation and Cork's shocking second half stats. Click the player at the top of the page to play the show. Monday’s shows are free to all.
