Limerick GAA 2023-2024.... 5 in a row is not here

That’s my reading of it as well. It’s probably highly unlikely DOD starts anyway but I just don’t see Reidy not starting when it’s crucial Limerick track back and drop deep for the cork puck outs. That’s much more his game than CON.

DODs return to fitness has been a disaster really.

Seems to be getting back for an age pal. Dunno I guess work weeks is a long time but I’d say they won’t risk him.

Nah he will be lucky to get a 15 min cameo role now at this stage of the championship, he just fell too far behind he needed to be getting minutes towards the end of the Wford game which was a month ago.

If he was good enough to be on the bench the last day he’s surely ready to go a month down the line.

I’m gonna say one change, Flanagan for SOB. On the understanding Flanagan is fully fit and raring to go.

I’d love to see DOD back in the team, everything works better with Lynch at 11. But I can’t see who you could drop. Reidy has been playing really well, you couldn’t drop him. CON quieter the last day but has been our player of the season. Maybe he’d drop CON knowing the bench impact he’d give? Lynch would be most under pressure on form, but he’s Cian Lynch, and expect there’s loads more to come from him. Casey has been excellent and don’t expect him to be dropped for Finn. Kiely tends to be loyal to players in possession, the likes of Reidy and Casey have played too well to be dropped I reckon.

Different management. Pat Ryan will get a performance. But not enough of a one to keep it within two goals of Limerick by the end.

Kinnerk will pick the best team to beat cork - not who has had the jersey

Expect Darragh to start if he’s going well in training. Then it’s Reidy and O Neill fighting for one spot with lynch at 11

We were cleaned out for long periods in the pairc- especially on our own puckout in first half.

Cork will need at least 3 or 4 goals to win this.

Agree and they will create the chances.
Connolly and Hayes will take serious watching in Croke park. Both have huge goal threat if they get the right ball.

Barrett caused Hannon lots of issues in the round robin game - shutting him down will be important.

Byrnes will need to deal with Harnedy a lot better this time.

They could have had 5/6 in PUC to be fair

Goes without saying. 4-5 really.

Dublin half back line cleared up the cork Puck outs in second half.

We went to shit when Harnedy went off.

I see Barry Foley winning a Junior League A medal at the weekend at full back for the Well. Fair play to him, some servant for them.

Still has it.

He’s on the Limerick Masters panel too. I feel like it might be cheating to have someone who is still playing club at a fairly decent level :grinning: like, compare him to Joe Mulcahy like.

He is in better shape now than he was playing in the 96 AI final as a young fella.

His two points in the Clare game in 96 were brilliant, albeit overshadowed by Ciaran’'s point of course.
Barry a very good hurler and minded himself more probably in later years.

He’d great hands

He did wreck for the first 20 minutes in the AIF in 96
