Well done Limerick played v well there and never got out of third gear really.

Henry will need to have a long look in the mirror after that ffs

Doubt he’ll be looking in his rear view mirror heading to Galway anymore

Bizarre carry on with the Galway keeper constantly picking out the ball down on top of where Limerick had put their men. Three Galway lads standing idle beside him. No puck out strategy in terms of primary possession. Management surely to blame.

That is the possibly the most satisfying win of the past 4 years

We are going nowhere

Ah stop… really?

Puckouts were excellent for first half hour then he persisted in pucking it down on 14 Limerick Vs 11 Galway

hardly

Playing two inside the 21 allowed Galway players bursting into space to be free.

Reverting back to a negative approach closed those avenues for Murphy.

Shefflin appears to have lost the run of himself at HT. It appears to me that he instructed Murphy to lamp it where he did believing his troops would win it.

They weren’t playing the Tipp HB line today

Is it over yet :face_with_peeking_eye:

I didn’t see that coming at all. Fair to Mike Casey. His block changed the game.

Dod outstanding.

Tom Morrissey lofted golf shot into gillane for the first goal was a thing of beauty.

God help Rockos hard drive if it’s Limerick v Clare.

They never did.
Should have been nine points up at half time.
Poor third quarter.
That was it then.

Clare are only team that troubles Limerick system. They go man for man. Its a risk as you leave your full back line vulnerable but its the only way. You need manic intensity out field to try and limit exposure to full back line.

Canning said it before hand. He wanted Galwsy to play this way.

Limerick want teams to play negative/sweeper as it gives them extra man and they will destroy you.

Tbf to Dowling he simply called that spot on at half time. If Galway weren’t going to raise a gallop in the second half they’d have been as well stay in the dressing room.

And so it proved. No dumb luck there

Huge difference on the side lines.

Henry cuts a very unconvincing figure throwing his arms in the air trying to get his team going.

Kiely and Kinnerk had Galway figured out quickly.

Allied to their fitness levels & hurling ability it’s a massive ask.

Whatever team beats them will need Fitness levels to at least match them & about 4 goals.

You’d feel sorry for Limerick, they’d be in the discussion for greatest ever if they weren’t in as bad an era for hurling as there’s been

You just described Kilkenny.
Not Clare.
