Limerick GAA 2023-2024.... 5 in a row is not here (Part 4)

A bona fide Hall of Famer.

Dealt a mortal blow to Carkness in 2018 and finished it for good in 2021

He brought five All Ireland medals into the city of Cork. Not too many can say that in recent times.

He channelled his inner Mossy Dowling to score the goal that day.
Always gave 100%. A model for any young lad coming up.

A great servant for Limerick hurling. Often under appreciated I felt but always gave his all for the cause. 4 in a row doesn’t happen without Mulcahy slotting that last point in 2018. 5 all Irelands, 7 munster , 3 league medals, a Fitzgibbon cup, an all star, Munster u21 medal, 4 county titles and a Munster club. What a career!!

Great player! :+1: :+1: :+1:

HOTY in 2018. No doubt. Won the final but also scored huge points in the semi when we were under the cosh.

Still kilmallock’s best player in the semi this year.

We spent his early part of his career wasting his talent until the 2 Ks revitalised him, some servant to the Balbec and the county, some haul of medals to look back at. May he enjoy his retirement.

They came a year too late for Seanie Tobin sadly

Didn’t have an assault and/or dangerous driving conviction behind him.

His career seemed to be stalling from 2013 until 2018 when I was part of a defensive unit that was torn to shreds by Graeme in a Club Challenge game on Easter Sunday morning of that year.

Limerick had played Tipp in a League Semi Final in Thurles the night before and Graeme had barely featured, but the 2-06 from play he scored that Sunday morning seemed to give him the confidence to drive on and make his mark for Limerick that year and subsequently.

Along with Padraig Walsh of Tullaroan, he’d be the best non-Tipp player I ever played on the same field as.

Some how lads lorrying aimless ball down on top of our smallest player wasn’t working as an effective strategy.

There was even a time he was actually out playing around wing-forward for large periods but we weren’t playing a running game, getting him on the ball with little stickpasses or off-the-shoulder running; we were playing direct and having him compete under high ball. He always battled away in fairness to him.

That’s putting it very mildly. His work-rate, right up until the end, was incredible. He had heart

Quick, mobile, brave, hard worker, clever and an excellent finisher. Great Limerick player. Real end of an era vibe with another tie to that Munster winning team gone.

I was sitting next to Gavin’s dad that day. When the goal went in we both shouted Mossy Dowling!

Great servant of Limerick hurling, had class all the way back to his younger days and the 2011 Munster u21. Was phenomenal in 2018, can’t add much more to what has already been said in tribute here.
Thanks Mul!

Well spotted :thinking:

Shocking minimising of Cian Lynchs contribution in 2018 here.
