Cork hoping forward power can see off Limerick

CORK coach Tony Leahy is cautiously optimistic his side can retain their Munster U21 football title against Limerick at the Gaelic Grounds tonight (7pm).

“There has been a lot of work done on the ground for football in Limerick in recent years and they are certainly no longer a soft touch,” said Leahy.

“Home advantage will be worth a few scores to them and, with six of last year’s team available, they are going to be extremely difficult to beat.
