All-Ireland semi-final: Cork v Dublin
4:26pm: One change for Dublin, none for Cork. John Hetherton comes in for Darragh Power. That will be Hetherton moving into the edge of the square on Eoin Downey, who had his hands full with a similarly built Peter Duggan this year. Here's what Dalo and co think will happen. No votes for the Dubs 4:20pm: GAA president Jarlath Burns in today's match programme: "Our schedule and our season do not suit some vested interests who would prefer the inter-county calendar to dominate with no regard at all for the clubs who supply 100% of our players. "We've made some hard choices on the structure of our season. It is significantly shorter, but the games have not suffered; the players at county level enjoy the system, and our club players have a structure and certainty that they crave." Burns continues: "I can accept that using penalties to decide this year's epic Munster final was a jolt and not to everyone's satisfaction. But here's the thing, a replay would have seen the loser have to play three weeks in a row or if a window was created for replays, the winner could have been idle for five weeks. "The GAA decided that this scenario was not desirable - even though a replay would have been with a significant return in gate receipts, But again, that doesn't suit the narrative that the GAA is only interested in money." Cousins, Dublin supporter Aoife Barry, age 11, and Cork supporter Lorcan Donovan, age 9, arrive before the GAA Hurling All-Ireland Senior Championship semi-final match between Cork and Dublin at Croke Park in Dublin.

A lot of traffic difficulties for Cork supporters on the way to Dublin. John Fogarty

Dublin started strong, with Seán Currie, Conor Burke and Ronan Hayes leading the charge, as they never gave Limerick a bit of space in Croke Park.
