Half Time.
Limerick with plenty to do in the second half in the Ragg.
Limerick 0-6
Cork 1-13#SportLK
Costello opened the second half scoring but a blitz of 1-2 in quick succession for Cork had their lead out to 14 points.
Katrina Mackey’s second goal of the day furthered their advantage as Limerick struggled to get a foothold.
Aisling Thompson had Cork’s fourth goal with ten minutes to play.
Limerick to their credit, never gave up and a quickfire double of goals from Laura Stack and Judith Mulcahy reduced the deficit.
But in the end, the margin was seventeen as Limerick now look ahead to the All-Ireland championship in a fortnight’s time.
