Limerick 3-32 Cork 2-31
Limerick faced off defeat at Croke Park on Sunday before producing an extraordinary recovery and storming the overtime victory against a tiring side of Cork, which once again experienced the torment of losing a semifinal of Ireland as a champion of Munster – for the third time in five years.
In the 62nd minute of this fascinating contest, Limerick trailed by five and a ruck in front of The goal of Cork ended with the siege raised, a quick release to Darragh Fitzgibbon, the last person a defensive team wants see in space, and he duly outstripped everyone right to sweep a point that put Cork 1-26 to 1-20 in advance
A two-goal lead in the last 10 minutes seemed draw the curtains on occasion and reserve Cork's place in this year's finals. If Limerick were to recover, they would surely need goals and this seemed unlikely, given the effectiveness of the red horde in the back.
But Limerick became angry. Just as in the quarter-final against Kilkenny after Richie Hogan's goal, they calmed down; lowered pulse rate, and went to work. Two points in a minute of the release of Aaron Gillane and the influential Kyle Hayes, who played a key role in the defense and attack, and the gap was narrowing
over Gillane that of Patrick Horgan for Cork and the momentum was unstoppable. One point behind injury time and Limerick's support in a 71,073 crowd made his presence felt, but it took Nickie Quaid's intervention to prevent Séamus Harnedy from taking up the challenge.
turning point with other Gillane points and led, 1-27 to 1-26. That was all Cork could do to extend it in overtime with a free Horgan
Again, like the quarterfinals, it's the Limerick bench that won. Often, replacements can bring renewed energy and attention, but this impact was much easier to calculate – 2 to 6 of the total winners. The goals came in the second overtime period, thanks to Shane Dowling's brilliant penalty – after being overturned by Mark Ellis – and Pat Ryan's artistic shot, leaning over Anthony Nash.
l & # 39; initiative. Captain Séamus Harnedy suffered a leg injury in the first half and never fully recovered, although it took a tremendous rescue from Quaid to prevent him from winning a decisive goal. Daniel Kearney, who distinguished himself most of the time on the field, was another forced start, just like Fitzgibbon in overtime
Final score
But there is a relentlessness about Limerick, a refusal to accept that the game is up and finally, when they prevailed on the match, Cork struggled. The final score could have been worse for them. Conor Lehane caught a goal with more or less the last game in overtime and had
What would have been useful, two points in advance at halftime was destroyed when just before the start. interval, Séamus Flanagan fed Cian Lynch, who showed the way to the goal and showed how to finish, straightening his run and crushing the ball into the net for an advance of 1-12 to 0-14.
Cork had looked at the team smoother in the first half, more alive and more alert, forcing Limerick to return possession but his shot was destabilizing and they finished the half-time with 10 wide.
The conditions at Hill's goal were difficult, a dragging wind complicating the shooter's task. This led to several Hawk-Eye referrals, most of which were confirmed to be large.
Limerick threatened. Leading forwards Gillane and Graeme Mulcahy shared 0-10 of the game over the 90 minutes and the latter, along with Gearóid Hegarty, was at the forefront of the challenge in the first 35 minutes.
The champions of Munster started the second half deliberately, continued to look sharper and took the lead. The main development for them was the birth to life of Lehane, whose first half had been in keeping with what had been a quiet season.
In 19 minutes of the 38th, he scored 1-3. The goal was a quality finish, as it was coming from the right side of the goal and it suddenly opened daylight between the teams, from 1-23 to 1-18. It looked like the end.
Limerick, however, only began.
There was a minute of applause before the throw-in of Achill Boothman, who played for Dublin in 1961 in All-Ireland, the last time the county reached the final when he was considered unlucky by Tipperary. a point, 1-12 to 0-16
