McSweeney: The key thing was not to give them any momentum

Limerick’s seven-point Munster SFC win over Tipperary last month ensured there was no possibility of Cork taking the Treaty men lightly, according to debutant Eoghan McSweeney.

The Knocknagree attacker was one of three players — along with Clonakilty’s Liam O’Donovan and Nathan Walsh of Douglas — given their championship bows as Cork began their campaign with a 3-18 to 0-6 win at Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Saturday to set up a Munster final meeting with Kerry on June 22.
