Somehow we’re still in it after playing our way in a bit. Gillane bullying us.
Lovely pass from Lynch to Kevin O Brien, shot blocked and Tommy O Brien finished off rebound. Mike Foley at 5 for Nap is a lovely hurley.
Lynch much more prominent since moving to midfield.
Too many Na Piarsaigh forwards still very quiet, Dempsey doing a huge amount.

They’re way too reliant on Dempsey, and Downes to a lesser extent. Will O Donoghue has been very quiet.

I must have woken WOD up. He popped over two points. The Well by 5.
Mark Carmody has gone through the world of ball at midfield for the Well.
Nap have never really replaced dowling. They can often be so poor at times over the years but he came up with the magic to turn a game for them.
A traditional final it is.

I know the media have given MOTM to Kevin O’Brien, and he was excellent to be fair, but I’d have given it to Byrnes. He was awesome.

Yeah. Sure we’re in decline.
Is it jack neville? He’s a fine commentator there I was listening on CPs link. It was a few minutes behind the radio but he’s very good.
John Keogh was main commentator for that.

Just shows the incredible strength, depth and variety of the Limerick senior club championship with two new teams in the final, compared to last year.

Patrickswell deserved the win, but if Na Piarsaigh had just been a little bit more disciplined, they might have had a chance. They gave away some very soft frees after almost every score that they did get.
Without Peter Casey, they were always there to be got, he’s their best player by a mile. The Well were decent but struggled a little bit against the wind to secure the ball. But they trusted their bench to come in and most of them made some sort of impact tbf.
Ronan Lynch was very poor at centre-back tbh; again stuck in no man’s land a lot. Downes had a poor first half but came into it in the second half. Boylan was decent in fits & starts but never really got into it. They had no real plan for Gillane; he didn’t see much ball in the second but he caused awful problems for Houlihan in the first.
It’ll be an interesting final. The Well will have to do something about Kilmallock’s ability to shoot from outside, serious accuracy from the middle third and they added goals to that today. Their big men all stood up- Hanley, Mulcahy, Paudie, O’Reilly.

They just don’t have it when it counts
Ya I agree. Mike Casey is a huge loss in back line. I thought there was another goal in them but it was not to be. Will make for a good final
They hate ye because they can’t bate ye
I’ve a feeling The Well may have played their final today and the Balbec will prevail.
As I predicted, and was widely derided for doing so some months ago, Doon will win fuck-all.
