Treaty progress no surprise to Cork, stresses Flahive

Kevin Flahive says he and his Cork teammates weren’t surprised when Limerick dumped Tipperary out of the championship. The Rebels host Limerick on Saturday, but it’s not a matter of changing all their plans because they expected to be meeting Tipperary.

“We played Limerick earlier in the year and they were a big, physical team. My last year U21, Limerick brought us right to the wire. They are a very good team, so when they beat Tipperary, it might have looked from the outside like a shock, but we know they’re a good team and we’ll be well prepared for them the next day.
