An early season renewal for last year’s barn-burner rivalry. This time it’s Limerick who have the scores to settle, as they face into a year without arguably their biggest influence, Nickie Quaid. Jason Gillane, brother of Aaron, gets the nod for the goalkeeper’s jersey with the rejuvenated Shane Dowling on the bench.
Contrasting starts for the counties. Wexford are down on their uppers with four heavyweight retirements, Liam Óg McGovern, Matthew O’Hanlon, Diarmuid O’Keeffe and a host of other temporary absentees. Simple errors were punished by an eventually ruthless Cork but Keith Rossiter’s side managed to pick up a couple of injuries, including to the experienced Kevin Foley, as well as a red card for Rory O’Connor.
