SHERLOCK: WE SHOULD BE HUNGRIER THAN LIMERICK

CORK selector Wayne Sherlock says there's no way that Limerick should have greater desire than the Rebels in Saturday's Munster final.

The holders are bidding for a record-extending seventh provincial title on the spin at a time when Munster has arguably never been as competitive and with a more demanding format too.

Cork won the Munster title in the first year of the round robin format in 2018 but this is their first final since.

"It's incredible," said Sherlock of Limerick’s recent record. "If you were an outsider looking at a team going for seven-in-a-row, you'd be thinking it must be a cakewalk. But they've been winning most of the games by a point or two.

"Look, they're phenomenal. But going up to Limerick the next day, how can they be hungrier than us? That's my question.
