Carried out on their shields: how Limerick's bravehearts rated 

The Treaty's quest for a fifth title on the trot came to an end against Cork.

Nickie Quaid: Not much he could have done about the Cork goal. Tipped a Shane Barrett shot over close to half-time. Brilliant late save to deny Patrick Horgan. Struggled to make his long puck-outs stick in the second-half. 7.5 

Mike Casey: Left swatting at air as he chased Brian Hayes for Cork's goal. Started out on Hayes before switching onto Alan Connolly. Pinned back all afternoon though gambled at the death and roamed forward as Limerick chased redemption. 6
