Cork boss Kieran Kingston paid tribute to Limerick, saying trying to stop them was like “trying to stop the tide with a bucket”.

“My reaction is it’s all about Limerick, to be fair,” said Kingston. “There’s huge credit due to (them). I said at the press conference before the game that we were going up against a team, in my view, who were the best team I’ve seen since the great Kilkenny team.
