Clare star Tony Kelly has given Cork hope by insisting Limerick are beatable and predicted that the Shannonsiders won’t dominate the Championship indefinitely like Dublin did in football.

Kelly acknowledged that holders Limerick are favourites to retain the MacCarthy Cup on Sunday and that it’s a “tall order” for Cork to end their All-Ireland barren streak.
