Following an opening week defeat by Tipperary, Cork turned around their Munster SHC campaign with an impressive seven-point win over All-Ireland champions Limerick. What changed in a week for John Meyler’s men? “What happened last week wasn’t good enough from a defender’s point of view,” he said. As the rain came down in the second half, it was they who dealt with greasiness better, the All-Ireland champions looking more and more a team who had been kept in the stalls too long. The calming presence of a fit-again Bill Cooper couldn’t be ignored either and Meyler was fulsome in his praise for the midfielder.
