Aaron Gillane v Ciarán Joyce:John Kiely handed the free-taking duties to Aidan O'Connor this spring but that hasn't diminished the importance of Aaron Gillane as their attacking spearhead. Picture: Eddie O'HareWhile Shane O'Brien has blasted in 2-11 up top, Limerick still lean heavily on Gillane. O'Mahony man-marked Lynch effectively in the '24 All-Ireland semi-final and Cork could do with him repeating the feat here. William O'Donoghue v Shane Barrett:O'Donoghue earned the nickname 'The Terminator' as a midfield enforcer at the height of Limerick's dominance but also filled in without any fuss at centre-back in the 2023 All-Ireland final when Declan Hannon was injured. Picture: Brendan Moran/SportsfileBarrett was an All-Star at centre-forward in 2024 and clipped 1-3 in last year's Munster final and 1-4 as Cork's best forward in the All-Ireland final.
