Cork would benefit from missing hype around Munster final, says McLoughlin

Former Cork hurler Lorcán McLoughlin believes the county would be better served by finishing third in the province, rather than progressing to yet another Munster final.

John Meyler’s charges travel to Cusack Park on Sunday needing to secure at least a draw to be certain of their place in the top three. (Were Limerick to lose to Tipperary in Thurles, Cork would still progress, even if they suffered defeat to Clare).
