Cork manager Kieran Kingston has said that important though Sunday’s championship opener against Limerick is (Pairc Ui Chaoimh, 4pm), it “won’t define the season” for either side.

The sides meet in a replay of the All-Ireland SHC final which Limerick won well, with Cork keen to put away a disappointing loss to Waterford in the NHL final a fortnight ago.
