Cork booked themselves a Munster senior football championship semi-final date with Kerry after coming from behind to defeat Limerick by 3-13 to 0-11 at Pairc Ui Chaoimh.

Second-half goal from Chris Og Jones, Ruairi Deane and Ian Maguire put the Leesiders on the path to victory in this one after having trailed by a point at half-time.

The points of James Naughton, Bob Childs and Brian Nix were what helped Limerick, who lost all seven of their Allianz League outings coming into the championship, towards a 0-7 to 0-6 lead at the break.

John Cleary’s men had the breeze in their favour in the second-half and soon surged in front with points from Jomes and Brian O’Driscoll ahead of the former smashing in their first goal.

The hosts wouldn’t look back from there, as Deane fisted in their second goal before Ian Maguire raised the umpire’s green flag with four minutes to go and hand the Treaty men a defeat which now consigns them to a Tailteann Cup.
