Limerick defender Sean Finn says the Shannonsiders must up their game when they embark on their Munster championship campaign against Cork on Sunday.

John Kiely’s charges experienced a below par league campaign this season where they recorded just one win in five outings.

Last year’s league campaign saw the Treaty County winning only two of five games before going on to retain the Liam McCarthy Cup and Finn is keen to get the winning trend going again.

“I can see that we progressively improved throughout last year,” he is quoted saying by GAA.ie

“At the start of the league last year we were lucky to draw with Tipperary. If we didn’t draw that game we would have had three losses on the go as well. but we were progressively improving. A lot better than in each championship game.

"When you compare that then to the league campaign this year, we played two good games at the start of the league but the Cork game was the outlier there which we were quite disappointed with.

"Then, look, we brought it up again and we were decent against Clare and we were strong against Offaly. It’s up to us now to continue that upward trend and be that bit better when we play Cork and hopefully it’ll be an opportunity to progress that into the Championship.

“I suppose the outlier there is the Cork performance this year. When you compare it to last year, it was a significant dip in performance that day. It was probably a false reflection of how our year was going. Hopefully we get an opportunity to get that trend going again this year.”
