STUNNED Dubs boss Niall O Ceallachain hailed Cork's seven-goal slaughter of his team as the best display he had witnessed in years.

The Rebels thumped Dublin by 20 points to reach a second successive All-Ireland final.

And afterwards boss O Ceallachain (above) confessed: "By a long way, that display is the best I have seen this year.

"We are very disappointed. The way it panned out was not how we planned. But there are no excuses. While we have to be better, I thought they were excellent, extremely sharp, full of energy and aggressive.
