Cork captain Patrick Horgan says they've been improving game on game.
Excitement is building ahead of Sunday's All Ireland hurling final with Limerick, as the Rebels go in search of their first Liam McCarthy cup since 2005.
The Glen Rovers star told RedFM Sport that confidence is high in the camp after three wins on the bounce on their way to the decider.
"We definitely have improved game on game as we've played.
"We were in with a shout in early on in that first game against them [in the Munster Championship], but they showed their class and pulled away around half time, and kept that gap the whole way through.
"We know what we're up against, they're a savage team, and we'll have to be at our best to compete in any way and that's the aim - we want to give the best showing that we can of ourselves."
