Limerick 0-20 Cork 0-16
Limerick secured the first inter-county silverware of 2020, winning their sixth McGrath Cup title against Cork in LIT Gaelic Grounds on Saturday evening.
The Shannonsiders led by four points at half-time - 0-12 to 0-8 - having gone ahead in the 11th minute thanks to a Jamie Lee free.
Cork got within two points of Billy Lee’s side after the restart but scores from Lee and Neville gave the hosts a five point advantage midway through the second half.
Not even a late resurgence from Ronan McCarthy’s side was enough to unsettle Limerick as two late Neville points secured their first McGrath Cup in 15 years.
