Nickie Quaid : Not much he could have done about the Cork goal. Tipped a Shane Barrett shot over close to half-time. Brilliant late save to deny Patrick Horgan.
Struggled to make his long puck-outs stick in the second-half. 7.5 Mike Casey: Left swatting at air as he chased Brian Hayes for Cork's goal.
Started out on Hayes before switching onto Alan Connolly. Pinned back all afternoon though gambled at the death and roamed forward as Limerick chased redemption. 6 Dan Morrissey: Had stints on Alan Connolly and Patrick Horgan.
Cork's inside forwards brought the heat straight away and Morrissey spent the duration in fire-fighting mode. 6 Sean Finn : Began the game on Patrick Horgan before shifting onto Brian Hayes. Finished up marking Hayes.
He won't remember this one fondly but he can take huge credit for lasting nearly 80 minutes in the cauldron after his cruciate problems. 6 Diarmaid Byrnes : A generational talent but an afternoon to forget. Marked Seamus Harnedy and had his pockets picked for four points before the experienced St Ita's man had emptied his tank.
Scored 0-2 and hit two wides. 6 Declan Hannon : Under huge pressure all day and moved out onto the wing for most of the second-half. Didn't have the sort of impact he was hoping for as Cork turned up the heat in the middle third.
6 Kyle Hayes: Turned over for an early Darragh Fitzgibbon point. Blocked well later on to deny Patrick Horgan a point. Spent the second-half at centre-back.
None of his trademark bursts forwar.
