Limerick just love that and have loved that in finals for so many years and have such a big tally put up from turnover scorers like they did the other day.

So I think sometimes, like I said, when teams are trying this thing where they say, right, we get all the numbers to the middle of the field and we make it a war against Limerick.

I think the space could be your best friend against Limerick.

Or you're trying, if you have the pace, and Cork have trouble with Limerick sometimes over the years when they've actually not win for that fight, when they've tried to keep space out there.

You know, and let Fitzgibbon have space and Barrett have space.

Again, you're going into a team that has been primed and talked about this form of tackle.

I remember Paul Kinnock came in, his first year was 2017, so we started training in the winter of 2016.

So I can remember being back in Rakiel in November, December 2016.

I can remember Paul Kinnock sitting us down and just kind of talking to us about, before he got into any drill in training,

He said, what we have to be, he said, what my aim here at this team is, we have to be an incredibly hard team to play against.

He said, before talking about puck out strategies or diagonal balls into the full forward line or running off the short end, we have to be so, so, so hard to play against.

he said that is our aim for this year that when a team draws us we'll say in a draw or they're coming to play us next week or in the championship when they play Limerick he said they have to say these lads are so hard to play against and then we went into a transition and he started us on these things we'll say playing a game across the field real small spaces

And he'd talk to Monty and he'd say, right, I want you to swarm.

And we'd never really heard that before.

And it takes a lot of practice.

People think, oh, that's easy.

We'll just swarm.

So Michael, me and you will go swarm Mull when he gets the ball.

But if you don't have the right practice done, and if you're not good at it, what Mull will do straight away is he'll just pass it off really quickly.

And he'll get it to someone else and they'll shoot.
