The furnishings in Pairc Ui Rinn won’t rival Madrid’s Wanda Metropolitano for comfort anytime soon, but no-one was forced to the edge of their seats Saturday night in Cork as the hosts romped to a 21-point Munster SFC semi final victory over Limerick.

Limerick manager Billy Lee has kept faith in the XV who defeated Tipperary in the first round as the Shannonsiders bid for a first Munster SFC final since 2010.

Limerick produced the first shock of the Championship at Semple Stadium with a remarkable seven-point defeat of Tipperary.

A pulsating Cork PIFC opening round tie went right to the wire before Bantry Blues edged St Vincent’s at Enniskeane last Saturday evening.

Willie Maher did the official Croke Park tour once and, among the assorted tidbits he took from the experience, was the fact that there are 34 steps from the bottom of the Hogan Stand up to the spot where silverware is raised to the heavens.

Kilcummin advanced to the All-Intermediate Club football final following a thrilling 0-11 to 0-10 win over Two Mile House at the Gaelic Grounds.

Cork will meet Clare in the McGrath Cup final this Saturday after comfortably dismissing Limerick in today’s penultimate round clash at a venue which had neither a stand nor a scoreboard.

One final piece of silverware from 2018 for Dr Crokes and in convincing fashion at that, as they won the battle of the Munster Club Champions with Intermediate winners Kilcummin to win their 30th East Kerry SFC title in total and a first since 2013 for the club, at the Fitzgerald Stadium Killarney on Saturday afternoon.

Kilcummin claimed the AIB Munster club IFC title in Mallow today. A strong finish to the first half and an impressive second half showing from the Kerry champions meant this is the 12th title for the Kingdom and fifth-in-a-row for Kerry clubs.

2017 footballer of the year Andy Moran added two goals as a sub.

Laois 2-12 Limerick 0-9: Gary Walsh hit 1-6 and set up Paul Kingston for a 70th-minute goal as Laois got the John Sugrue reign off to the perfect start with a nine-point victory over Limerick.

An Gaeltacht (Kerry) 3-21 St Senan’s (Limerick) 0-8: Much like last year, when it was also a Kerry v Limerick pairing in the Munster Intermediate Club final, An Ghaeltacht showed little mercy to St Senan’s in becoming the fourth consecutive Kerry side to win this title and the 10th from the Kingdom to do so in the last 11 years.

A catalogue of missed chances allowed Wexford to hold on for their first championship win in two years, and end Limerick’s summer in the process.

Alan and Donncha O’Connor have committed to the Cork football squad for 2017, selector Eoin O’Neill has confirmed.

Antrim 0-9 Limerick 2-6: They came, they saw, they conquered — that was Limerick footballers who tasted victory, at Corrigan Park in Belfast on Saturday, for the first time since April 2015, when they carved out a league win over Louth, in Drogheda.

Sligo 3-10 Limerick 1-12: Limerick’s relegation to Division Four of the AFL was confirmed following their four-point loss to Sligo, 3-10 to 1-12, at Markievicz Park.

Westmeath 3-14 Limerick 0-7: Tom Cribbin wore the look of a man who just had his shoulders relieved of the heavy load which had sat there since the final Sunday in January. That was the afternoon Westmeath’s promotion plans were refused take off at Cusack Park with Kildare bagging maximum points behind enemy lines.

Kildare 1-11 Limerick 1-10: Kildare recorded their fourth successive win in Division 3 at St Conleths Park yesterday to put them firmly on course for an immediate return to Division 2, but manager Cian O’Neill was left deeply unimpressed by their performance.

Limerick 0-11 Clare 1-14: When the sides met in last year’s National Football League, Limerick pulled themselves out of a four-game losing streak to kickstart an unlikely Division Three survival with a double-scores victory. Sadly for them, history did not repeat itself yesterday as they were brushed aside far more comprehensively by Clare than the final margin of six points suggests.

Austin Stacks 2-10 Laune Rangers 1-6: Austin Stacks retained their place in the Kerry senior football championship for 2016 and consigned Laune Rangers to the intermediate grade for the first time since 1969.

Laune Rangers 1-14 West Kerry 0-16 (AET): Laune Rangers, inspired by Mike Frank Russell and captain Shane McSweeney, edged out West Kerry in this epic county championship battle at JP O’Sullivan Park, Killorglin, yesterday.

South Kerry 0-16 Kilcummin 1-8: The dead ball accuracy of Bryan Sheehan proved crucial as South Kerry secured a winning start in this Kerry Senior Football Championship first round tie in Kilcummin yesterday.
