When the Rebels last played Limerick in Croke Park, they had tried to play around them, which didn’t work.

Cork go old school to find the right formula 

Just after Darragh Fitzgibbon had scored off the throw-in after half-time, Mark Coleman won Nickie Quaid’s long puckout and drove it into Alan Connolly who set up Patrick Horgan for a point. Then Cian Lynch won the resultant Limerick puckout and set up Cathal O’Neill for a point at the other end.
