Between senior, intermediate and premier intermediate there’s 32 clubs. So unless limerick have 75 strong team junior hurling championship you’ve made a complete tit out of yourself again.

Yeah that’s definitely wrong for wexford anyway. There are less than 50 clubs, think it’s 48 or so. Maybe they are counting hurling and football as two distinct clubs? Either way, it’s wrong
Actually 31 nap have an intermediate team as well as senior.
Includes handball teams too I think. @gaillimhmick is after making a complete tit out of himself.

I was actually miles off. There is 47 adult hurling clubs fielding teams in Limerick in 2018. Poor @gaillimhmick is having a nightmare here.
A colleague of mine from Limerick recently informed me that Ye had 15 senior teams, 16 intermediate, 26 Junior A and 29 Junior B. So that’s 86 adult teams with an estimated average of say 25 players comes to an estimate of 2150 hurlers in Limerick.
Well your colleague is completely wrong. There’s 12 senior clubs, 8 premier intermediate and 12 intermeiate clubs. Beside 2nd teams I’d say there’s is much more than 10 junior clubs in limerick. You are a total clown and made a complete tit out of yourself.
What fucking junior b outfit has 25 players
What you omitted there was that Adare are complete and utter cunts, despised by all and sundry.
I exclude Dec Hannon and his father Joe from this synopsis.
I wasnt getting into specifics. @gaillimhmick has gone from 105 Gaa clubs and Is now counting 25 man panel junior bs sides and is still coming up with less than 90
Specifics wouldn’t be your thing alright, too inconvenient
101 GAA Clubs, 86 Hurling Teams. Fuck me lad it’s not that hard to follow.
Not having a pop, mate.
What a day that was. I’m still buzzing. Plenty of cunts waiting to have to a cut off those lads - same cunts who tried to run you off here after a dry period of punting.

I know you’re biased and all Kev, but Tipp have far far better players than Cork right now, and better players coming through if minor to u21 results are even a vague barometer. There is nothing to suggest Cork will win one before Tipp. In fact, Limerick will win one before Cork. We have better players now and far better players coming through.
In advance of Limericks upcoming win over Galway, I would like to make my sincerest apologies to @glasagusban in regards to my general scoffing of this post. He was right, I was wrong, and I’m a big enough of a man to admit this.
Cork are fucked, the King (and county full of Royal loving cunts) is dead, long live the new High Kings.

Hopefully none and they will have an 18 year famine like Tipp after their glory days of the late 50s to early 70s. Tipp contested 9 AI finals in that spell and won 6, arguably close to as good a record as Kilkenny’s recent one, as back then there were no second chances and Munster was a cauldron every year. For much of the past 15 years Kilkenny have had to play two matches a year, as the importance of the provincials has declined and the competition in Leinster has been spotty at best. The format of senior IC hurling has become a shambles, with one good game in all of 2015.
I would say 2 for the following reasons. Although it may sound like wishful thinking, I think last Sunday was the last hurrah for Kilkenny’s dominance and they will find it much harder going forward. Although the effort put in in that second half was astonishing, they were helped enormously by the naivety of Galway who played as if they just had to keep doing what worked in the first half, when anyone who has watched a Cody team for the past 15 years should know what to expect. Galway just didn’t have the ruthlessness to finish them off with goals in the first half nor the guile and leadership to change tactics in the second.
For all the strength and conditioning, ruck formation, and perfecting the art of fouling without penalty, it still comes down to hurlers and Kilkenny have had an abundance of fabulous hurlers. While they will smother a game when they have to like last Sunday, more often than not they beat you because they are simply more skilful and craftier hurlers. The sequence of play around the 55th minute when both sides were going at it hammer and tongs for 2 minutes, and then a sublime handpass from Reid to Larkin and over the bar. While they all fought like demons, the players who led by example were Mick Fennelly, Reid and Larkin, as you would expect senior players to do. Sadly Galway didn’t have those three or four leaders to take control of the game and drive them forward, save for David Burke arguably the best player on the field for the 70+ minutes. Joe waiting for ball at FF that never came in that second half was infuriating when he had been so influential out the field in the latter stages of the first half. What the hell were we thinking about on the sideline leaving him there isolated while the game slipped away from us?
I agree though that Cody is the key man and as long as he is there he will have them playing the same way. The evidence though is the hurlers that are coming through are not at the standard we have seen for the past 15 years, and when Larkin, Fennelly, Power and eventually Reid and Hogan go who will replace them? Obviously Kilkenny will continue to produce good hurlers as they always have, but history suggests that great teams come and go in cycles. Cody’s brilliance has been to keep their cycle going so long, mainly by his ruthlessness and bullying in demanding 110% or nothing. Slowly but surely though he is running out of ammo, and he must be very tempted to call it a day a la Ferguson, considering the standard he has set, as no successful manager wants to go out on a low.
What a post, ridiculous it’s been sitting on 9 likes for three (3) years*.
I’m revising my prediction down to one(1) from two(2) for los gatos.
In a repeat of 1930 - 1940, Limerick three (3).
thanks to @Gman for correcting this injustice.

That would not be a repeat of 1930-1940
Did Limerick not win three (3) all Irelands from 1930 - 1940?
