Diarmuid Sheehan: Cork back in the ascendancy but Limerick aren't out of the running yet
Are Cork a better side than they were last year? In a word, yes. Are Limerick now a busted flush? Not a chance. Corkman Any questions about whether Cork had the quality to stand up to the reigning Munster champions were put to bed early on Saturday night as the men in red threw everything they had at Limerick and never took their collective feet of the gas. The Rebels pushed the home side in the Gaelic Grounds to the limit and ultimately sealed the deal in the most dramatic of circumstances. The Munster Senior Hurling Championship hadn't exactly fired and taken off like it did in 2024, with more often than not the games that were predicted to be close falling far short of expectations. Far too many one-sided affairs.

Dublin salvage point at the death with last second equaliser by Kate Sullivan against Waterford
A LAST-SECOND equaliser from Kate Sullivan salvaged a draw for Dublin in a cracking TG4 All-Ireland SFC opener with Waterford in Dungarvan. Despite the absence of top scorer Kellyann Hogan, the Déise led 1-13 to 1-11 with two minutes left. Hannah Power put in a player-of-the-match performance at midfield, captain Emma Murray was magnificent in defence and attack while Bríd McMaugh kicked four points. But the home side could not hang on for their first ever senior Championship win over the Dubs as a Hannah Tyrrell free and that buzzer-beater from Sullivan levelled the contest. And Dublin joint-boss Paul Casey was just glad to salvage a point. He said: 'We're extremely relieved. One thing we always ask this group is to fight to the end and they did that.' Read more on GAA A bizarre own goal from Sinéad Goldrick saw Waterford enjoy a 1-6 to 0-7 advantage at half-time. The experienced defender bungled a back-pass to Abby Shiel and the ball ended up in the back of the net. On the restart, Déise skipper Emma Murray won a turnover at one end and slotted a point at the other. Tyrrell brought the sides level on 32 minutes at 1-7 apiece when she finished low under home keeper Katelyn Gardner. Most read in GAA Football Emma Murray added her second point from play before Tyrrell dummied and pointed. The teams were level six times in the second half. Katie Murray and Lauren McGregor edged the hosts 1-13 to 1-11 ahead with time almost up. RTE GAA pundits argue over who started halftime row as Cork eventually topple Limerick in Munster epic final But Dublin did not panic. Tyrrell converted a late free and while Power won a huge kickout for the hosts, the Sky Blues retrieved possession and Sullivan got her kick away just before the full-time hooter. Deise chief Tomás Mac An t'Saoir moaned: 'I'm disappointed we didn't see it out. "We squeaked ahead towards the latter stages. We were two points up, we just didn't get over the line. 1 It was a tough start to the All-Ireland campaign for both sides as it finished 1-13 to 1-13 "A couple of decisions didn't go our way but that's football.'

Shane Barrett: 'We came up here with one mission: to win. A brilliant day for Cork hurling'
TURNING Limerick over on their home patch 'is as sweet as it gets', Cork vice-captain Shane Barrett says. Kyle Hayes was man of the match when Limerick sent Cork back down the road tail between legs 20 days previous. Hayes sat on Saturday evening, Barrett marauded and blitzed. 1-3 from play chalked by the 32nd minute. Cerebral hurling, cerebral movement. 'I got it all in the first-half, I didn't do much for the other 50 or so minutes,' he quipped. 'Once we won, I couldn't care less [about my own individual contribution], and thankfully we did win.' Barrett clipped 1-2 from play when Cork turned Limerick over to keep their 2024 championship alive. Another 0-8 came off him that indelible night at Páirc Uí Chaoimh. In the five-in-a-row-ending All-Ireland semi-final win over the same green opposition two months later, he rose three white flags. Saturday gone, though, topped the lot. Seven-in-a-row stopped. Cork's first Munster success since 2018. His first Munster success full stop. 'You are coming up into an absolute cauldron. Limerick are going for seven-in-a-row Munster championships. They've made the Munster championship almost look easy the last few years. So this is probably as sweet as it gets, coming up here and turning them over. 'We have had great days over the past 12, 18 months. Hopefully we have a few more. But this is really special. We are really going to enjoy this for the next few days. 'Munster medals are very prestigious. Pat really spoke about the importance of it. People of Cork are reared on Munster championships. It has been seven years since we have been in a final. That is too long for a county like Cork. It is unbelievable for those of us winning our first. Hoggie, Sham, Lehane and Damo have three, and then the '97 crew and a few more have two. At least we can say we are joining that club now, so we are delighted.' Limerick rolled in an All-Star cast off the bench in an attempt to reach provincial immorality. Shane O'Brien nailed 1-2. Darragh O'Donovan put them in front approaching the end of regulation time. Peter Casey pointed too. Cathal O'Neill hurled an amount of ball in the middle third, albeit guilty of one incredibly poor extra-time wide. And yet it was the Cork bench that won this particular contest. Three points from Shane Kingston, two from Lehane. The latter nailed arguably the most crucial penalty of the nine struck after Cork found themselves two down early doors in the shootout. And this from a man making just his fourth appearance of 2025. Kingston was next in red to make the lonely walk and return a hero. Tommy O'Connell brought energy and a one-point contribution. Robbie O'Flynn, in extra-time, was fouled for a Darragh Fitzgibbon converted free and then assisted a Kingston white flag. 'We are not joking when we say the strength of our panel is, we think, the best in Ireland. Today showed that,' Barrett continued. 'Conor Lehane, he hasn't played much in the last 12 months. He came on against Waterford two weeks ago, got a critical point, and today sticks the penalty. He also clipped points and won frees. Absolutely invaluable. 'Shane Kingston too, Robbie O'Flynn, Tommy O'Connell put in a huge shift. Niall O'Leary came on. Brian Roche came on half-forward, had to go back midfield to do a job, it is just what he does. The strength of our panel is unbelievable, today really showed that. 'We were absolutely blown away here three weeks ago. We knuckled down, trained really well over the last three weeks. We knew up three weeks ago wasn't a fair representation of us as a team. We came up this time with one mission: to win. A brilliant day for Cork hurling.'
