And they're coming in on a 100% record and looked impressive in the group stages.

Yeah, I had been in Sedba Stadium for the Munster Championship game and at that point, Aisling Thompson was still out injured.

Saoirse McCarthy had just come back from some time away.

They looked very raw and they had a lot of new players around the group and They were kind of devoid of ideas when Cuiva McCarthy sat in as the sweeper and they were pumping ball in on top of Orla Callan and she has an incredible touch but they were asking her to do so much against you know plus one and I thought they were quite naive that day and Tipperary were full value for the win that day in the Munster Championship but The block of work that Cork got through to say that they turned up in Galway ready for road kind of caught Galway off guard, I think.

And the players around, I suppose, the old reliable, the new players, the fresh players, the likes of Millie Condon, the likes of Ava Fitzgerald, they've really come into their own.

And the last day in Parc Eireann when they played Waterford, it looked like a much more cohesive Cork team now Waterford didn't take their chances that day and they were guilty of dropping balls short and Lorraine Bray hadn't started and Niamh Rocket hadn't started that day and then obviously of course she gets sent off close to the end which impacts Waterford against Kilkenny I did, though, feel like Cork were more back to themselves and a nice physical game against Waterford kind of gelled them more.

And it's a confidence boosting effort.

So we'll have to work hard to get around them.
