Cork star Mark Coleman says the Rebels are “under no illusions” about the size of the task this weekend as they take on Limerick at the TUS Gaelic Grounds with the Allianz Hurling League Division 1A title on the line.

The Leesiders head for the Treaty County as 13/10 (PaddyPower) underdogs to retain their title, with both sides having won five and lost one of their league outings thus far.

Speaking to EchoLive.ie this week ahead of Sunday’s final at the Limerick ground, Coleman said that it’ll be a difficult task against the Shannonsiders.

“I think, for us, it's obviously still going to be a massive challenge going up there,” said the 2017 All-Star winner.

“We’re under no illusions that it’s going to be a difficult day, or a difficult task, for us. After the Munster final, all it does is give you that bit of extra confidence.

“You're never going to be going in there with fear or anything like that, but you always draw from your past experiences.

“We were fortunate, I suppose very fortunate, to come out of there last year after penalties. It’s never going to be an easy day up there, but I suppose just that bit of confidence off the back of last year, maybe but it's obviously still going to be a difficult task any time you go up to the Gaelic Grounds.”
