I couldn’t understand how Cork’s management went about dealing with some of the major threats facing them

If Limerick have improved, so too have Cork. The biggest question of all though is by how much?

The Rebel tide is rising. It’s threatening to flood everywhere else. But Limerick know too well that now is the time to beat back those waves
