When Aidan O’Connor pointed for Limerick against Cork late in May’s Munster SHC clash at SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh, it put the Shannonsiders ahead by two points, 3-26 to 2-27.

While Cork, needing to avoid defeat to keep their season alive, had played very well, it looked as if the All-Ireland champions had won it thanks to a trademark late surge.
