A fantastic win in a game far from the classic so many predicted but the dramatic finish more than made up for that.
In this Limerick team the most irreplaceable player is Nickie Quaid, time and time again he pulls off miracles in the goal, Patrick Collins made some super saves too in fairness.
Up to yesterday we had lost the knack of edging tight contests with Cork who seemed to have what it takes to see these games home.
Yesterday it was our patience and composure in a frantic finish that was critical plus no score for Cork from play for 40 minutes.
If we meet again in a final Cork will be better than they showed yesterday but so will we, Shane O Brien and Aaron Gillane due big games.
The scenes at full time show how much Limerick love winning finals with more to come.
