Cork run riot over 14-man Limerick

Cork 0-16 Limerick 0-6: The advantages of being able to play members of a minor team that has yet to make its championship debut were evident in the Gaelic Grounds last evening, when Cork easily defeated Limerick before a crowd of 468 in the opening round of the Munster U17 hurling championship.

Lining out with a marked physical advantage down the middle, the winners dominated possession throughout, but made heavy weather of it, despite having the breeze at their backs during the first half.

Shortly after half-time, Limerick picked up a red card and any hopes of a recovery died as their occasional clearances were soaked up by the extra Rebel defender.
