The Cork hurlers suffered one of their worst defeats of the modern era at the hands of Limerick on Sunday.

Their display at TUS Gaelic Grounds was miles off the required level in the Munster Championship, especially when John Kiely's side were always going to be wired to the moon against the team that ended their five-in-a-row bid.

There were very few positives, if any, given Cork lost by a staggering 16 points, coughing up three goals and being outclassed in every line of the field. Now, they can still make the Munster final if they get the better of Waterford at home next Sunday, which you'd have taken at the outset of the campaign.

The manner of the loss though leaves them in a very vulnerable position for the visit of the Déise and going forward...

Declan Dalton, Rob Downey and Niall O'Leary are injury doubts and we reveal who we would bring into the starting 15 to replace them.

Were Cork complacent after landing the league and blitzing Tipp? Did the three-week break have an impact? Or was it just a bad day they can recover from? We certainly hope so.

The Cork footballers head to Navan on Saturday afternoon in the opening All-Ireland football series group game. Meath were devastated to be beaten by Louth in the Leinster final, especially when they'd take down Dublin, and will have no fear of the Rebels.

They've Kerry at home the following weekend and then face Roscommon in a neutral venue, so getting a victory against Meath is hugely important.

On the camogie front, the vote on skorts or skirts takes place this Thursday, while divisional teams have been given a reprieve to feature in the Cork senior camogie championship again this season.

We also look ahead to the Cork-Kerry minor final in football and reflect on the minor hurlers' provincial success.

Now in its third season, every week Éamonn Murphy will be joined by The Echo team including Barry O'Mahony, Denis Hurley, Rory Noonan, John Horgan and more to discuss all the latest Cork GAA news on and off the field.
