Cork star Patrick Horgan reckons the Rebels are in a better place than they were 11 months ago heading into the last four of the All-Ireland senior hurling championship.

The Munster champions take on Limerick next Sunday week looking to go one better than last August's semi-final when they lost out to Waterford and their ace attacker feels they're a much improved side from that defeat in Croke Park this time round.

"We're unbeaten now in Munster in a lot of games," said Horgan stated after being announced as June's PwC GAA-GPA Hurler of the Month.

"I think we're a better team as well. Probably because of our experience of last year.

"Of being in a Munster Final and winning it and winning it again this year, we're a lot more relaxed going into games as a team and we kind of know what we have to do more now than ever before.

"We won't know until it happens, but I think there's something different about it. Not something different about the team because it's the same team, but I think the experience of getting there again, it's a lot more calm."
