Fresher Limerick have package to trump Cork’s marquee names

When I was with the Limerick underage academy, and the Limerick minors, my boss Joe McKenna had a couple of hard and fast rules, one of which was very simple — never play Cork in a challenge game. 

We could play every other team under the sun, and the moon; if we could have got a run out against Barcelona, Joe would have organised it. But Cork? No way. Not for love nor money.

I queried him on it a few times and I always got the same answer, which was basically no answer. “Nah, no way, not that crowd.”
