What facts Meathgaa? From the Limerick goalkeeper to the LImerick 65, it is, well, 65 metres. As Pairc Ui Chaoimh is a big pitch, it is approximately 15 metres to the Cork 65 and obviously it is then a further 20 metres to the Cork 45. Now adding 65 + 15 + 20 + x = 110 YARDs (approx) X is some variable as you say he is inside his 45, you do not specify how much and as a yard is slightly bigger than a metre it is fair to infer as Culchie has said, that he scored from 110 yards.

I was quoting Hag and Cheese "What about the rock scoring from his on 21 yard line..... modern hurling is all about the half back and half forward line!!"
