Rebels get nod, but it could be close

TOMORROW’S Munster SFC clash of Limerick and Cork at the Gaelic Grounds will evoke memories of the last meeting between the counties at the same venue. The occasion was June 10, 2006 when Cork prevailed 0-9 to 0-5 in one of the poorest games of the season.

That day Cork found themselves four points down after 10 minutes, but were rescued by James Masters who scored all but one of their tally.

When the two counties met in the first round last year at Páirc Uí Chaoimh, Cork eased home 2-14 to 0-7, with Masters top scorer on 1-7.
