For a long time it wasn't much of a rivalry at all. Before John Kiely took over Limerick, the counties had met 65 times in championship, Cork winning 44 (67%) and their neighbours 16 (25%), with five draws. Even four wins to the Rebels' two over the triumphant last seven seasons has taken Limerick's overall winning record to just 28%.
