The Rebels’ survival in the championship depends on getting a win against the All-Ireland champions.
WITH CORK’S SURVIVAL on the line this weekend, individual battles will be a key part of their clash with Limerick on Saturday evening .
If they are to pick Limerick’s pocket and inflict their first defeat of the series, they must prevail in the one v one scenarios. Phony team announcements and changeable formations make it difficult to make exact predictions, but below are the likely pairings which could determine whether Cork can manage an upset or whether Limerick will roar to a third straight win.
Advertisement Fitzgibbon secured possession from puckouts three times in the first half, scoring a brilliant point from a tight angle from one and setting up a long-range Ciarán Joyce point from another. His second point on 48 minutes put Cork two in front at a time when calm was needed as Clare were eating into their seven-point lead. He had two more crucial possessions in the final 20 minutes when Cork were chasing the game and needed interventions to maintain their pursuit.
Upon his return from a second ACL injury, Finn broke back into the team in the league semi-final against Kilkenny and was brought on to replace an injured Mike Casey in the first five minutes of their Munster opener against Clare. He seemed to be covering Aidan McCarthy mostly in that game, but came up against Shane O’Donnell at different intervals, often doubling up with Dan Morrissey to try and curtail the elusive Éire Óg star.
