A tough day for Derek McGrath and his four goals. Liam Cahill is an absolute bluffer sending his team out with five forwards against this Limerick team, it is asking for trouble from the start.

Back to the drawing board for the Tipperary brains trust.
Tipp are getting closer to Limerick, though.
12 points in 2019
9 points in 2020
5 points in 2021.
Sheedy & Eamon O’Shea deserve an extension. Noel McGrath and Callanan and Bubbles have years left in them.

Ah would you stop. He has built a great team. Carrying injuries to key players and playing the fourth week in row, which is very unfair. A super and likeable team and they are on an upward curve.

You play those tactics and you lose more often than not, they very rarely come to fruition, hence the comments.

They played with six forwards against both Galway and Tipperary. No idea of Laois.
Derek more or less got it right. Predicted that Waterford would need 4 goals to win, which was correct, they lost by 11 points scoring 0 goals. So spot on there Derek.
Only a few of the very serious Limerick crowd believed it was anything other than Derek losing the run of himself and letting his heart rule his head when he predicted Waterford would get the four goals to win it.

Four goals is a big ask when you only play one forward

Despite getting completely beaten up and outclassed, Waterford did have a few goal chances. A bit like the succession of first half wides and missed Stephen Bennett frees, their score conversion rate fell well short of what it was against Galway and Tipperary.

They were too far out.
It was unfortunate that the one free we got within scoring distance in the opening quarter was overturned because of a bit of retaliation

I meant the goal chances as well. Felt the goalie had a better chance to be set for them. Same in the final last year.
In fairness Austin should have scored his second half chance when he hit the ball at the right height for Quaid and Barron should really have been able to tap in after the goalmouth scramble. He took way too long to turn onto his right side.
The other Barron chance where the ball hit Quaids head then the cross bar and then the post before rebounding to safety was just freakish good/bad luck depending on how you look at it though worth noting that not every goalkeeper would have stayed standing up the way Quaid did.
