Cork manager Kieran Kingston says only a 70-minute performance will be enough to see off Limerick.

The Rebels, who fell over the line against Westmeath last weekend, entertain the league holders at Pairc Ui Chaoimh on Sunday and the home manager is in no doubt as to the level of performance that’ll be required:

“Very simple, a performance for the entire 70 minutes, the type of consistency we are looking for from game to game and within games and to cut down on the number of frees we are conceding,” he told EchoLive.ie.

“It’s a big game for us now and an opportunity to focus on where we are at. This will be a massive challenge for us, Limerick are the country’s form team at the moment as they showed against Tipperary and Galway and it will be a very tough encounter.

“We will be minus a few players because of injury and Damien [Cahalane] is suspended but it gives us the opportunity to do a bit of experimenting with the panel, a chance to mix it a bit.”
