This week on Bitesize, Michael Foley and Ciaran O’Hara uncover the fascinating history behind this weekend's All-Ireland semi-finals.

The lads explain why, when Cork meet Galway, history suggests it's better to arrive as the underdog. They also reveal why a championship meeting between Clare and Limerick has become almost as familiar as Limerick taking on Donegal, before turning their attention to the All-Ireland Minor Football semi-final as Cork prepare to face Tyrone. A quick-fire journey through the records, rivalries and forgotten stories that give this weekend's championship action an extra layer of intrigue.
