He’d be a colossal loss to ye. I recall him get a bit of a cleaning from Liam Lynch v Limerick Minors in 2020 but last year he was outstanding to be fair.

Downey has some improving to do to fill 6 for ye But it was done with Limerick players who turned inside out as players since 2017 so look, it can be done.

I genuinely think Limerick are going to push on again, up another level. All the right signs in the camp. Even after the 2020 and 2021 All Ireland wins they’re still absolutely sick about 2019 and it seems to be driving them. There’s zero sign of complacency or being happy with what they have. There’s a couple of really talented young lads to be brought in over next year or two to put the squeeze on and also rumours of Kiely about to wield the axe on the panel to shake things up with the lads pushing for places…I think they can sustain this for another few years.

The Canon will rise out of the grave as Liam McCarthy is raised…

[Julio_Geordio]

Tis all cycles lads. This too will pass. Remember when Kilkenny had the two best teams in Ireland.

but i do know one thing… there was a league semi final in either 97 or 98 when Seanie Mcgrath made a holy show of Anthony Daly… the writing was on the fucking wall then lads…

That Cork team was made up of lads that won back to back U21s. Generational talent that all arrived on the scene together. Mon won Harty in 94 and CBS in 95. Born winners and leaders.

The current group of U20s is every bit as good imho, maybe better.

No just no. LOL. I suspect this yrs minors might well be a generational side but the last 2 U20 sides are littered with average hurlers.

[balbec]

Don’t know what happened there

[balbec]

We’ll be here alright

@fenwaypark

I look at a lad like Diarmuid Byrnes. He is transformed under Kinnerk.

What’s the biggest change you see in him under Kinnerk ?
I think limerick at very lucky to have someone like kiely who has no problem getting in people that are better than him at certain things… compare it to kk

[balbec]

The Carkies are as giddy as we were with the three in a row U21. That ended well.

[Perez2017]

Did someone say Baker was non existent v Cork in 99? Clare had that game won only Baker got injured. Cork were blessed to win that game.

[neilld]

Eddie Brennan, harsh on Eddie but yer man might have been the best of all of them with a clear run at it.

Fast Eddie greater but Power was a better player.

Suppose ya can’t give it on what fellas might have done

[Tassotti]

Mickey O’Connell bursted him with a filthy one

You must have been after a few pints watching that game mate.

And that’s why Eddie gets the nod.

Cork are coming like a freight train. Once they get the coaching right in the senior set up, and it looks like they have, it is a question of when rather than if we win the all ireland. I’d guess it will happen in 2023 but would not rule out 2022. Cork will dominate for the next decade once that happens.

There won’t be many Limerick fellas left on TFK then they will run for the hills

Bellies full though. Well ready for the 45 year hibernation

[fenwaypark]

Positionally he is in right place all the time. His distribution is way better.

[fenwaypark]

It’s all conjecture at this stage.

@Tierneevin1979

Sure every time Cork lose it’s because it’s the worst Cork team of all time, there can be no other possible explanation for it.

not at all but i do think we are realistic in our assessment of our teams and ill quantify that statement by the fact that after Kilkenny beat us in the 1992 AISHC final we only won one (1) game of senior championship hurling between that day and June 13 1999 when we beat Waterford in Thurles… and that was against Kerry in Tralee on the day of the 1995 FA Cup final when Everton cc @Faldo beat Manchester United by one goal to nil at Wembley stadium ( if you recall evertonbeat Tottenham 4-1 in the semi final with Daniel Amokachi on fire)
Anyway… i agree that we were a coming team in 1999- i cant remember if we won a league in 1998 or not ( did waterford beat us?) , but i do know one thing… there was a league semi final in either 97 or 98 when Seanie Mcgrath made a holy show of Anthony Daly… the writing was on the fucking wall then lads…

Ye won the league in 98. Ye beat Waterford before a full house in Thurles. Seanie O Farrell the butcher from Castlemartyr bullied our deaf corner back Mark O’Sullivan and scored a couple of goals that were the winning of the game on a very hot April day.

[fenwaypark]

Seanie is from Carraigtwohill
