I think so too.

Going down to Mordor as champions will be another great occasion.

A Munster final against the blahs would be lovely.

Having seen him up close in recent weeks, Iā€™d have to say that heā€™s on a completely different level to this time 12 months ago. Now that might sound obvious to all of ye, heā€™s a year older, heā€™s now an All-Ireland winner, etc.

But Iā€™ve always rated him extremely highly but itā€™s just great to see how heā€™s not only improving on the things heā€™s always been good at, heā€™s clearly worked on areas where he had weaknesses in his game. Kinnerk knows what heā€™s at.

The one advantage Kyle has compared to the other lads and last year is the long break he got between November and March this year. That stood to him I thought in the semi final and final. Heā€™s only peaking now.

Hanley from Kilmallock, along with Ronan Lynch are worthy of a place on the panel. Iā€™d give my third spot to the top player coming out of the junior semi-finals.

Certainly didnā€™t hurt! I also believe heā€™s a genuinely big game player, he takes responsibility to stand up in important matches.

Ronan lynch needs to find his position on the field and go from there. He has the hurling. Henley, o Grady, Joy, Eoghan mc, Conor Boylan and Gavin from ballybrown should be all looked at.

I havenā€™t seen as many club games this year as I did last year but of what I have seen I thought Mikey Reidy of Dromin Athlacca (Davidā€™s brother) was outstanding in their defence. He was called into the panel in 2016 I think but TJ didnā€™t give many of the newcomers a look in that time round really. I wonder is he worth another look? Flaking player and a lovely bit of cut to him.

We need to expand defensive options to be honest. Richie Mc injured long term, will Condon stay on? Seamie Hickey? These lads have young families. Hickey is very busy professionally.

Iā€™d also like to see SeĆ”n Flanagan of Feohanagh looked at, Stephen Cahill of Tournafulla is back in the country and was very good against Kilmallock in the junior A quarter last week. Dan Joy and young Oā€™Grady from Knockainey also two others who could be looked at.

I actually think we should enter that munster league while the team are on holidays and field a side of lads whoā€™ve impressed with the club and were 21s last year, see what depth we have.

Jamie Porter of Monaleen.

It means so much to the crayturs.
In fairness the likes of Kyle Hayes and Seamus Flanagan were able to concentrate on the senior after going missing at their own age group in ibrox ( tee hee hee) earlier this year, a bit like liverpool mounting a challenge for the Premiership when they hadnā€™t the Champions League to concern them.

Iā€™d say limerick look set to win nine of the next ten all Irelands.
They can only beat themselves really. The only question is whether they will manage five back to back, or will the history of the fifth weigh too heavily on them.

My thoughts exactly.
