CORK BID FOR their first Munster senior hurling title since 2006 on Sunday afternoon when they face Limerick in the Gaelic Grounds.
They face unfamiliar opponents thought as the counties have only met five times since the start of 2001 in the senior hurling championship.
And you have to go all the way back to 1992 for the last time Cork and Limerick met in a Munster senior hurling final.
But there have been a couple of magic moments in clashes between the counties in recent years and here’s two magic points that Rebel fans will remember fondly being registered against Limerick.
The Rock
In 2001 there was Diarmuid O’Sullivan’s monster effort from distance in Páirc Uí Chaoimh.

And then there was Brian Corcoran’s stunning score while on his knees in the Gaelic Grounds in 2004.

Huge achievement for Touhy. A win tomorrow against Port, will put them 2nd on the ladder. At the way he’s playing, hes in line to make the All-Australian team this season.
@John Paul: I reckon he will go past the 246 total of the Legend Jim Stynes,he’s been an outstanding player for the Cars this year and he’s in their leadership group for a reason.
@John Paul: no Huge achievement for Tuohy. Why does everyone misspell this. He’s earned the correct spelling. Fair play.
@Bunny Johnson: Oh shut up complaining
Stynes is an AFL legend, very highly regarded over here. Was a gentleman too , done great work with the GAA and irish communities over here. Touhy is doing very well for himself, has adapted well and is a genuinely great player.
@rocks0769: agreed. Anyone who hasn’t seen it the RTÉ Documentary on Jim Stynes is an incredibly powerful watch. It’s on YouTube “Every Heart Beats True: The Jim Stynes Story”
@rocks0769: Tuohy. Again, why does everyone misspell this.
@5☆Fily: cheers, I haven’t seen that. Will look it up tonight.
Dont follow AFL a great deal, but i assume it is very achievable for Touhy to break Stynes’ record. Is that the case?
@Gareth Ward: Big ask, but it’s doable.
@Gareth Ward: Tuohy not Touhy.
Jim styles ????! Jim Stynes im guessing is who youre trying to write about ?!
