Limerick issue timely warning

CORK footballers got a timely warning at the weekend of the potential of Limerick ahead of next Sunday’s Munster SFC clash with the Shannonsiders at Pairc Uí Chaoimh.

On Limerick’s tremendous battle with Westmeath in Sunday’s Division Two NFL final, Cork selector Colm Murphy said: “They are no bad outfit. There will be no complacency among our lads I can assure you. Only a little bit of inexperience cost them that league final and if they can learn from that defeat, they will make it very difficult for us next Sunday.

“I was hugely impressed by their forwards, particularly their two wing men. They were very lively and prepared to take on the defence at every opportunity. That’s a good sign of a confident player.
