A stroll in the sun as Cork win at half pace
AS you would expect, Cork were well ahead of Limerick in quality yesterday. Once Aisake O hAilpín was taken down early on – and Patrick Horgan smacking the resultant penalty to the net – the pattern of the game was clear.
Cork’s ability to respond to any Limerick point with an immediate point of their own was a symbol of their authority. Cork were happy to take points at regular intervals and all their first-choice forwards, with the exception of O hAilpín, knocked over scores at various stages.
