Limerick GAA 2023-2024

A decent game considering the conditionsā€¦fair play to Doon. Was shaping up to be a familiar story first half but they dug in.

Itā€™s today once again you realise the utter madness that they couldnā€™t find a starting place for AE this year. Probably the most costly error of all by K&K.

Doon were Na Piarsaigh-esque in their efficiency rating today - 20 scoring chances,16 converted. To only hit 4 wides in those conditions in a final is an achievement in itself.

As John Motson once saidā€¦ā€¦ā€™you canā€™t say they donā€™t deserve itā€™.

Congrats to Doon. English is something else, marquee player. I expected Doon to win by more coming into it to be honest. Absolutely brilliant to see Peter Casey back. Conor Boylan fairly cleaned Richie English first half.

Anyway delighted for doon, Ć³ donovan,richie English etc.

Any time he seemed on the edge of a breakthrough he picked up an injury. He was the best club player in Limerick for a period of about five years in my view.

An intercounty managerā€™s stock went up after managing a club to a county title they were expected to win and that couldnā€™t have been better set up for them to win?

You talk some amount of shite.

Congrats Doon. Enjoy it.

A bizarre TFK obsession with the loose talk of a member of NaPs management

This is a great Doon team :+1:

The only thing thatā€™ll save Tipp from being burnt to the ground is someone organising an impromptu wet T-Shirt contest in Doon tonight

Thatā€™ll soften the blow for you on a day when Glen were caught on the hop by some upstarts from Newbridge up in Derry.

Derek obviously took the learnings from his slightly underwhelming stint with the Harriers in Wexford and used it to fuel his Doon success. Is there any chance of them putting it up to Ballygunner next Sunday or will they be sapped from the weeks shenanigans?

This is lovely from Derek. Incredibly understated and understanding of a proper club dynamic.

I canā€™t see anyway they arenā€™t drinking until Wednesday or Thursday at least. Will be Derekā€™s greatest achievement if he can get them out of the pub in time to be anyway right.

They are mad cunts back there at the best of times.

Now, will they realise they may never get a shot at Munster again. Might be their only hope.
But they are a long long time waiting for this. Iā€™d imagine they will

DRINK IT IN MAN

Fair play, he got the job done.

How is it shite?

I mean do you think Malachy Oā€™Rourkeā€™s stock didnā€™t go up when he managed Glen to their first county title, then Ulster the next year, then the All-Ireland the next year?

Doon have been a byword for failure that has spread beyond Limerick. Under Derek theyā€™re no longer a punchline.

I wonder might they go handy. If they can somehow get over Ballygunner, thereā€™s an All Ireland there for them. Some big beasts downed this weekend.

Richie English hinted at tonight and Monday but Iā€™d imagine heā€™s one of the more sensible players on the team. Between Doon, Tinahealy, Thomastown and Newbridge (Derry) itā€™s been a great weekend for famines being ended around the country.
