Yet another head-to-head, this like Tipp/Kilkenny, between two unbeaten teams battling for semi-final qualification.

This will be Cork’s first real test and it is a test they had struggled with for a number of years until finally getting the better of the Maroons in last year’s All-Ireland semi-final.

They went on to take ultimate honours then and while they were workmanlike in the League under new manager Ger Manley, they have been humming since, even without some key defensive injuries which might be more significant in a game like this.

Galway reached the League final and after losing that, Siobhán McGrath withdrew from the squad but Niamh Mallon made her first appearance in the jersey after her transfer from Down in that decider at Croke Park and nearly pulled it out of the fire.

She has been electric since even as Galway gradually grew into the competition.

This is a game both managements will welcome, regardless of the result.
