Ill progress this @fenwaypark
2000 was that an all ireland absolutly left behind or we we simply not good enough? getting beaten by Offally was not great now at all after a cracking MSHC final…2001 then Barry Foley beat us @balbec in the Park with that sideline in what i will say was one of the greatest occasions i was at…fuck it the place was heaving, dead head, humid , not a puff of wind the last great Munster Hurling championship game at the park IMHO…christ above that was a day for Tom Humperies- it was utterly epic…Foley’s score, the rock’s hit, sean og in the car crash… jesus
2002 then we were a sorry mess, galway hammered us and then the strike

Probably not.
The only complete bowl in GAA stadia, created a great atmosphere. Will have to forgive the ‘improvement’ to the seating that had to be partially sawn off.
In particular, MSHC '96 and '01 were great days for Limerick.

3 limerick lads must be disappointed
Quaid, Dan Morrisey and Gillane missed out
Ah the 2001 match vs Cork was one of the top, top days following Limerick. No hopers, we went into the dark room that day and came out with the win. 
Was it the lead up to that game Cregan discovered Corks “secret” with the light Cummins sliotar? 
I was in the open stand and at the final whistle was hugging conplete strangers around me, sheer joyous nervous energy being released. The whole MSHC was played in Cork that year for some reason (development work at Thurles maybe?) they were some great days, the place was absolutely wedged for each game.
The new stadium is obviously a completely different experience but the 2018 round robin game vs Cork was another great day, probably my favourite match day experience of 2018. The walk back into the city, a hape of porter to look forward to, chatting to supporters from both counties happy with their lot for the evening.
I loves going to games down in Cork. Heading down at Easter this year for championship will be an unusual one alright. Hoping for a Saturday evening game.

By God.
The three lads unlucky to miss out.
When was the last time the All Ireland runners up didn’t get one?
A disgrace that Nicky quaid is not on that team. An absolute disgrace

Eoin Kelly (W) got one in 2008 and Johnny Dooley got one in 2000.
Oh I believe you, I was just trawling back through the records to see if there were any other close calls.
Buff will lose his shit altogether

Really should have been all 15.
Quaid is the best all round ‘keeper in the land and has been for a few years. Murphy does the flashy stuff better but the in terms of the nuts and bolts of ‘keeping - organisation, communication, puck outs - Quaid is ahead of him.
D Morrissey and Gillane changed Limerick’s year when they came on in the Munster final. Again, two laughable omissions.
Still, history is made which copperfastens their status as one of the greatest teams the game has ever known. Delighted in particular for Darragh O’Donovan, an unheralded cog in the machine.
4 in a row for Sean Finn. One more to equal Pat Hartigan’s 5-in-a-row.
Lynch will join the likes of Ring, Mackey, Shefflin and Whelehan when he wins another HOTY.
