Limerick were both awesome and erratic, but their superiority over Cork was never in doubt
Add the first seven minutes to the last seven and Limerick outscored Cork by 0-11 to 0-1 in that time. Under Ben O’Connor, Cork have consciously added a more physical edge to their game, but nobody beats Limerick in a fight. Any time Cork have mastered Limerick over the last three years, it was in matches stretched by pace and relentless attack. For 20 minutes Limerick swept Cork off their feet with the power and directness of their play. But it cracked under pressure here and Gillane scored Limerick’s last three frees.
