Antrim hurling boss Dinny Cahill believes the odds of 5/1 on Cork to derail Kilkenny's five-in-a-row All-Ireland bid represent exceptional value.

"People are completely underestimating Cork," said the Tipperary native, whose Antrim side put it up to the Rebels in their All-Ireland quarter-final clash a couple of weeks ago.

"I fancy them to do well. They played very good hurling against Tipperary and there was only the puck of the ball between them and Waterford in both of the Munster final games. I don't think they've shown their hand all year."

Cahill feels Cork can use the height of Aisake O hAilpin and Michael Cussen to upset Kilkenny's usually dominant half back line.

"I think they'll bring their two big men out to the wing and stop them winning aerial ball. Cussen and Aisake will play on Tommy Walsh and JJ Delaney, with Niall McCarthy at centre forward to try and stop them winning ball and sending long deliveries down to the forwards.

"It's been said that Kilkenny are most vulnerable in the semi-finals and I think that's correct." Tweet
