Lot at stake for Limerick as regards their legacy. Win a 3 in a row and 4 in 5 years and theyâre right up there as one of the all time great sides. Lose to Kilkenny in Croke Park for the second time in 4 seasons in an ere when Kilkenny hurling has been at such a low ebb and their stock really plummets.

Howâs the back mate?
They were fixated on him. A pure roaster roaring âA boy Reidy boyâ at one point.
Limericks again worried lads wonât be thinking about them. Fascinating to watch.

Hard luck to @thegalways thought ye had us for a while. Twas a fair battle. Limerick got the rub of the green once or twice. Both sides guilty of bad misses. But David Fucking Reidy saved the day. A lot of fellas doubted him* and he shoved it down their throats
@flattythehurdler maybe next time you grumpy auld bollox

1973 is the last time a ânon-traditionalâ county from Leinster (Offaly, Wexford) or Munster (Limerick, Clare, Waterford) beat a big three team from the other province in the final.
There were several instances of such happening in the 1956-73 period:
1956 Wexford beat Cork
1959 Waterford beat Kilkenny
1960 Wexford beat Tipperary
1968 Wexford beat Tipperary
1973 Limerick beat Kilkenny
But since then, the traditional county has prevailed in all such match ups:
1974 Kilkenny beat Limerick
1976 Cork beat Wexford
1977 Cork beat Wexford
1984 Cork beat Offaly
2002 Kilkenny beat Clare
2007 Kilkenny beat Limerick
2008 Kilkenny beat Waterford

If you took Gillane out of that forward line, theyâd be in serious trouble. A player like Dj Reid de bruin will cause havoc in that Limerick defence

It was the subs made the difference but not the two youâd have thought. Boylan made a great impact as well.
