Performance against Limerick can set the tone for the Cork hurlers' season

As the season progressed Limerick, as Munster kingpins, were desperately unlucky to lose to Kilkenny in the All-Ireland semi-final. The Rebels’ season petered out with a quarter-final loss to the Cats when only Patrick Horgan, with 3-10, and Alan Cadogan, were at their best.

This is an important game for Cork even if the championship clash between the same two counties a few months later is infinitely more important.
