Cathal Downes⌠Had a few pints so it took a while
He was less influential tonight, he had Kevin Maher following him around this week.
Made one lung-bursting run to rip through their defence first half, kicked a great free from about 55m and won a couple of kickouts. But a lot quieter, but Claughaun had let him run riot, so was never going to be as dominant with a designated man marker.
Sheehan gone to US.
Kevin Maher is a big lump tooâŚ
Yeah, he played well, a big unit.
Itâs hard to see them winning it without him
ChocoâŚ
We are in the usual lucky place
Just back from Croker.
A good day out. The spirit in this team is unreal. Theyâll just always keep going even when itâs going against them.
A fifth final in 6 years, phenomenal consistency. Keep following the process and hopefully wonât be far off in a fortnight.
Bollixed now and off to bed before reading back the match day thread in the morning.
Iâm going to dive into it now, I love reading back the match thread. The usual suspects never fail. They actually make this journey all the sweeter
Thanks guys, you know who you are!
Great to see Peter Casey return to his 2021 form. Itâs been a slow season for him but heâs coming to the boil at the right time.
Won some key frees and nearly always takes the right option on the ball.
Youâd almost be concerned about the mental health of these misfortunes when Limerick go on to cement their place as the greatest team to ever play the game in 2 weeks time.
The GAA threads here will have to be muted
Congrats big dog, a phenomenal group of men.
Probably be a good idea , just allow Limerick & Kilkenny fans post on all GAA threads after today .
Just hope Quaid is fit for the final, he looked in trouble when he went down in the first half.
Iâd say heâll start but itâs the kind of thing that could be a recurring issue.
Well done Limerick, thatâs simply awesome team and coming into form at the right time. Our lads did well for 25 min but when the prospect of defeat was there Limerick just stepped it up like all great teams do.
Flanagan slotting in at wing-back for a couple of sequences of play was a good moment. Could be our next redeployment, he looked very comfortable back there
That point from a free he assisted when heâd no hurleyâŚ
