Shane Barrett: 'We came up here with one mission: to win. A brilliant day for Cork hurling'

Saturday gone, though, topped the lot. Seven-in-a-row stopped. Cork’s first Munster success since 2018. His first Munster success full stop.

TURNING Limerick over on their home patch “is as sweet as it gets”, Cork vice-captain Shane Barrett says.

Kyle Hayes was man of the match when Limerick sent Cork back down the road tail between legs 20 days previous. Hayes sat on Saturday evening, Barrett marauded and blitzed. 1-3 from play chalked by the 32nd minute. Cerebral hurling, cerebral movement.
