Cork 0-21
Galway 0-17

Cork overturned a six-point half-time deficit to get the better of Galway in today's All-Ireland IHC semi-final at Tullamore.

The Tribesmen led by double scores - 0-12 to 0-6 - at the break in the first game of today's triple-header at O'Connor Park.

But, with Peter O'Brien in inspired form, the Munster champions upped the ante considerably after the resumption and outscored Johnny Kelly's charges by 0-15 to 0-5.

Centre-forward O'Brien finished the game with 13 points to his name and the Rebels now have a final date with Wexford to look forward to.
