Limerick take long-term view

FOR reasons best known to themselves, many (even within the county) are writing off Limerick, in the Munster SHC semi-final against holders Cork at Páirc na nGael on Sunday.

Such an attitude doesn't make much sense: Cork scraped home by just two points when the sides met in the opening round of this season's NHL while both have enjoyed a victory over their last two championship encounters.

Nevertheless, current Limerick selector Joe McKenna can understand the local pessimism.
