Cork negotiate Waterford hurdle despite dodgy shooting

Cork got what they needed from the game against Waterford but Pat Ryan will hope it doesn’t rank anywhere close to his team’s best performance in this year’s championship.

Munster SHC: Cork 2-25 Waterford 1-22

To Limerick, Cork will return on Saturday week - though not as a “sitting duck” as Pat Ryan described their position going into last Sunday’s game. Not as favourites, and certainly not on the back of this unconvincing victory in front of a 42,181 home crowd.
