Unloved Cork make their point

Limerick 0-08 Cork 3-17

Hardly the most revolutionary statement since Galileo outraged the Vatican, but give a man a break as he looks for a seam of silver in the darkness of the coalface. The training run which masqueraded as a Munster championship match on Saturday evening isn’t going to yield much in the way of insight.

Cork vaporised Limerick in their Munster SFC opener, and the game’s context was more interesting than its vital statistics.
