SEÁN Finn has emerged as the latest injury worry for Limerick following the narrow 3-28 to 3-26 Munster Senior Hurling Championship loss at a sun-kissed Supervalu Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Saturday.
The four-time All-Star corner-back limped-off with a leg injury on the stroke of half-time, and now joins Mike and Peter Casey and Darragh O’Donovan on the treatment table.
Limerick trailed by a whopping eight points at the interval but typically stormed back into contention in the closing-half to lead by four, helped in the main by a couple of opportunistic goals from Séamus Flanagan, and appeared destined to win for a third outing on the trot.
Cork, however, finished with a flourish and a penalty goal from the ageless Patrick Horgan, keeping alive the Championship hopes of the Rebels.
It was a classic, watched on by an attendance of well north of 40,000 enthralled supporters.
