Patrick Horgan: An unwanted meeting? No, a final is perfect for silverware and last tweaks

If something doesn’t work for Cork in the league final they’ll have a chance to remedy that in the championship: same for Limerick.

I still think it was a mistake to have the league finals as a double-header, not least because it’s unfair to Dublin.

It’s a home game for Limerick, practically a home game for Clare, and not too inconvenient for Cork either. But for Dublin? Their supporters have to travel an hour and a half.
