Has it progressed at all recently?
Last October/November, they had made a good start, then it just halted completely.
Lads from Tipp licking Tony Kellyās hole all week, trying to discredit the Munster Championship heās been unable to win

In the sense that it was probably the best Munster championship many have seen, Limerickās best achievement in the Munster Championship remains last year, when they beat all of the other counties over the course of the championship and won the Munster title.
A Clean Sweep - beating all counties + winning all matches in 70 mins, including Munster title - remains to be done.

The invincible season was a fantastic achievement.

Limerick did the clean sweep in 2020.
In fact, Limerick not only did the Championship clean sweep in 2020, they went unbeaten in 70 minutes in that season. The Invincibles.
In the Round Robin system, it remains to be done. Itās possible it wonāt be done at Senior level.
Cork u20s this year the only side to do it in a Round Robin System, but the thing with that is no All Ireland Quarter or Semi Finals. Still a brilliant achievement and the only team to win a Round Robin All Ireland competition beating all other teams in 70 mins
Ah we would have savage respect for the cork lads.

OK, if you reckon itās a foul Itās as much obstruction on Casey via a 3rd man tackle as anything else. Iām not sure what you think Casey should have done differently. Heās moving towards the ball at pace and Kelly turns straight into him. Itās an accidental collision, amplified by Kellyās ridiculous reaction of throwing himself to the floor theatrically. Not the first time weāve seen it from him. And not the first Clare player to do it either. I think refs have copped it tbh
As I said, itās the Hogan one yeāve a case with
Weāve broken some of their records but I doubt weāll ever break all of them. Some history and heritage in fairness

You can twist stats whatever way you want.
I have still seen Tipp win more All Irelandās and Munster Finals in the flesh than you have with Limerick, and Iām merely a young lad.
So never? Good lad, something to aspire to I suppose
I hate to tell you this, but a 5 in a row, when in two of those years, Limerick had a 60% win record, and another two seasons were played in front of Big Rob Ryan and few journalists isnāt really going to cut it in the real hurling world.
This current group of players will be spoken about with the same awe in future decades as your Seanie Learys, your JBMās, your Cashmans.
2 or 3 All-Irelandās in a row are hard won, as many know. Cork have done it in the last half century and we tip our hat to them for doing so.
Your Graeme Muls, your Hegos, your Quaids - it will have a nice ring to it.

It not about what he can do different, you canāt run through an opponent with your shoulder. Itās not about the intent. If he met Kellyās shoulder straight on then no issue and no free but he didnāt. I could get the logic that Kelly played for it if he took a step infront of Casey knowing it was coming or even took a look his way but he didnāt.
Whether it happened in the first or last minute it should be a free. It wasnāt the losing of the match for Clare and I thought the ref was poor on the day for both teams as were Clare but it should have been a free.
Youre fair tetchy this morning, we are closer to Tipps next game than Limericks last yet you cant get Limerick out of your head.
Drink it in maannn
We are like the pats in the last few years of Brady.
Everyone is a little older, everyone is a little slower and everyone seems a little injured but we are still finding a way to win.
Itās tremendous stuff for a supporter like me anyway. Iād say Iāll remember gillanes performance on Sunday more than any of his other ones since 2018.
Itās really hard to know when itāll end know but the end isnāt miles off either. I was extremely confident v cork and Clare but now I wouldnāt be overly confident against any one being perfectly honest.
When great teams tend to crumble they tend to fall apart at seams and itās a total collapse. I thought for a brief period after the Clare goal they could run in a few goals before half time and weād be done but we battled on and pulled off another victory.

Round robin era is what I am getting at, sure the vast majority of championships won under any old format would have been clean sweeps.
Different kettle of fish in the round robin format.
If Limerick keep winning youād genuinely start to worry for a few lads here. They are struggling. This has cut them very deep

Could well lose the semi final and, who knows, Kiely and Kinnerk could walk away. And maybe some key players. Who knows. It will all end as quickly as they emerged and other teams will take over. Itās cyclical. Have to take the rough with the smooth.
Sunday was as enjoyable a day out as this group have given us. Real sense of satisfaction after it. Between injuries, lack of form, other counties raising it but still inching home to another title - got more of a kick out of that than some of the hammerings dished out since 2018.
Any fan with a brain knows how fortunate weāve been to have such great days. This era will end but the legacy will live on. Telling the grandkids - āyeah, we did the five in a row in Munster back then.ā

Paddy Stapleton was telling Wolly the other day that in his opinion Limerick are one of the great sides and he would have loved to see them take on the Cats in their prime.
