Why?
No. Himself and Kinnerk are moving to Dublin.
CHAMPIONS Na Piarsaigh eased into the semi finals of the Bon Secours Limerick senior club hurling championship.
In the LIT Gaelic Grounds it finished Na Piarsaigh 2-23 Ballybrown 0-15.
The 14-point win ensures the champions maintain their 100% record and therefore advance directly to the semi finals.
Defeat for Ballybrown will see them into a relegation play-off to determine who drops from Section A to Section B.
This result also confirms a quarter final place for Kilmallock.
Despite starting without seven from last yearâs county final winning team, Na Piarsaigh eased to this win with 11 different scorers.
I donât know if he owns it or not, itâs not one of the big ones, terraced house a bit up from the Model, his missus has a show on TV at the moment,
One of the 3 bed ones? Theyâd be reasonable money. The big ones would be up on half a mil
Hego, Finn and Reidy along with their plus ones are all living together in Monaleen these days.
I havenât had a chance to count the bedrooms,
Most of those big houses would be north of a million, theyâve grand gardens as well
Na Piarsaigh not even fully at it, but just too good for Ballybrown. Ballybrown tactically naive and punished as a result. Daithi Dempsey must have finished with 2-5 from play; they left some amount of space in front of him and he did wreck.
Coughlan was superb for Ballybrown, caught 5 or 6 balls clean but was carrying a lone fight. Kenny Power didnât even tog out with the rest of the panel for Ballybrown, definite trouble in the camp there. Ballybrown full-forward line didnât get any ball.
WOD was only okay, Dempsey was the main man by a mile. Boylan was lively too, Conor Houlihan covered the space well. They looked in second gear, didnât even have to bring Adrian Breen on.
Will Ballybrown have the tools for a trap door game v Ahane ???
Itâll be tight. Stevie OâReilly went off injured with a hamstring injury too.
Nothing would come cheap on OâConnell Ave. Some serious old money along that stretch

Ballybrown were poor enough in the corners and it looked like there was very little they could do about it unfortunately.
The problem teams like Ballybrown and other non Big Four clubs have, is when they come up against a side like Nap, theyâre already beaten in their heads ever before they take the field. A bit like Cork four weeks ago in Croker. So much going on in their heads, how do we stop this lad, how do we stop that lad.
The importance of a good team psychologist cannot be understated.
The big 4 in Limerick are in the top 10 club teams in the country. Easily.
I agree, and if Nap are gonna be stopped from winning out in Munster, it will be the Well that will do it.
She seems like a lovely girl
Big 3, Kilmalock on the slide.
They are in decline but would still win Cork or Clare championship . They would give Tipp a rattle and sans Ballygunner would probably win Waterford
They might win Cork, doubt theyd win Clare.
