Gillaneās handpass effort there demonstrates why Limerick choose to throw the ball.

Big step up for the Åad
Big win. Doesnāt matter a fuck really though
He did his cruciate and had a few more setbacks. Chance is gone now for him Iād say
Did Old Christians beat St Pats? Massive upset if true.
Askeaton will be kicking themselves after losing that by virtue of the two soft goals they conceded. Mike Browne as ref probably suited Monagea that little bit more with Herlihy unerring from frees throughout.
A bit surprised at the distance between Monaleen and Ballybrown. Why was this played in Rathkeale. Surely Mungret better suited to host that?
Old Christians won 2-11 to 0-12.
Just starting to dry out from Claghaun now, horrible night for hurling.

Just back from Fitzgerald Park, Kilmallock.
Bon Secours Limerick SHC Group B Round 1 RESULT
Adare 4-11 Garryspillane 1-11.
The Willie Griffin show. The Kildimo man was irrepressible- 3-02 from play on a wicked night. He set the tone with the first score of the game, receiving a John Fitz delivery, burrowing through before blasting to the net.
With the conditions it wasnāt a night for the fancy stuff and certainly not short puck outs. Disaster struck for the Bouncers from one such short puck out, the unfortunate Ciaran Sheehan slipping and Mikey Mackey nipped in to fire home. 2-06 to 0-04 and the Bouncers facing an uphill battle.
Credit to them, they stayed game but were hit by a sucker punch when a point effort fell short and who else but Griffin flicked it home. Young Sheehan, who did well overall, received a second yellow late on before Griffin completed his hat trick.
9 points a bit flattering but the Landed Gentry were definitely the better side over the hour. In most clubs you hate the neighbours down the road, in Adare itās the hurling side who despise the football element and vice versa.
The new electronic scoreboard in Kilmallock looks very well. Kudos to @balbec and co.

Does Muffins still switch hands taking frees?

Itās possibly iconic.

Thatās a massive upset.
It really is.
I was mesmerised when I first saw him play. Hard to work out what exactly heās doing.
Downes as a sweeper was an unusual move. 
Na Piarsaigh seemed to hit an absolute hape of wides in that. They were eager to keep giving Ronan Lynch a chance of hitting one over.
What exactly does that entail? Left hand at the top of the hurl when rising and then moved above the right by the time he strikes?
Something like that.
Its seven or eight years since Iāve seen him play.
Downes played centre back a bit in the league.
Looked like it was the Well initiated the sweeper, not too much of a surprise I suppose given Peter Casey had 1-2 scored within seven or eight minutes.
Yeah I was trying to figure out watching it was he actually centre back or just back as sweeper.
Got stung badly under two high balls with Gillane, hit him an unmerciful belt of a shoulder in the first half though. If he grows into it mightnāt be a bad move to get him more involved.
Nearly surely Griffin has the hurley caught wrong. Left above right.
Ya, he started centre back but ended up being free.
Gillaneās form shows no sign of abating.
