Cork 1-25 Limerick 2-20 ALL-IRELAND U20 HURLING champions Cork copper-fastened their place in the Munster knockout stages after holding out for a two-point victory over Limerick.
Ben O’Connor rewarded Eoin O’Leary for his form with a start in place of last week’s goalscorer Ross O’Sullivan in his ultra-competitive team selection. O’Farrell also had a shot at goal saved by Paudie O’Sullivan’s foot after a brilliant catch by Hugh Flanagan. O’Farrell’s seventh left it 0-14 to 0-12 at half-time; an 82% shot efficiency the key statistic for Cork.
