Cork will need lightning to strike twice to beat Limerick in the All-Ireland semi-final

Treaty are the favorites in this game, but the Rebels clearly have a chance to pull off the shocking match of the summer.

While it’s not as literal as the 1939 ‘Thunder and Lightning’ final, Cork need a semi-final where lightning strikes twice to pull off a monumental giants’ rout on Sunday.

They have already beaten Limerick’s all-time great team once this year, with a display of majestic ferocity. It will be harder to do it again.
