It used to be a relationship of dependency. In the space of 10 years, Cork provided Limerick with four senior hurling managers (Dave Keane, Justin McCarthy, Donal O’Grady and John Allen).

Limerick haven’t had cause to look beyond their own borders since 2014, only to take back from Cork what they can claim to be theirs (more anon).
