Rebels ready for victory

Cork's fate for much of 2025 has been to turn up in Croke Park on Sunday and secure their first All-Ireland title since 2005.

There haven't been many reasons to doubt Ryan's side, save for the Munster round robin reverse in Limerick back in May.

They didn't turn up that day, but Cork have been ever-present elsewhere. They won the Allianz League crown in the spring and avenged Limerick to take the Munster honours after a dramatic penalty shootout in the Gaelic Grounds in June.

The fixation with Limerick vs. Cork had most observers pointing towards a trilogy game in the All-Ireland semi-finals but Dublin stunned John Kiely's team and cleared a path for Cork in doing so.

The Rebels rose up during an historic semi-final as they bludgeoned Niall O'Ceallachain's Dubs, scoring seven goals in an incredible 20-point win.

Cork's full-forward line is the most lethal in the country, their desire for goals insatiable. The ability to get three-pointers may give them separation against a Tipperary team that far exceeded expectations in getting this far.

Goals should flow in Croke Park

Cork's appetite for goals is incredible. It wasn't just the volume of green flags in the semi-final against the Dubs but the manner in which they were crafted, shunning the chance to take minor scores.

The Rebels will know that hitting the back of the net can debilitate a young Tipp side. The Premier have some sharpshooters of their own, their four goals were crucial in the semi-final win over Kilkenny.

Both sides are capable of finding the net on recent evidence and over 3.5 goals in the All-Ireland final can land for the third time in five years.
